“While marble can endure, this hallow'd stone
“Shall guard his dust and make his virtues known;
“When that decays, his fame shall still survive,
“And in the duteous work for ages live;
“When that work dyes, let harden'd sinners fear,
“For then the world's eternal doom is near.
“Shall guard his dust and make his virtues known;
“When that decays, his fame shall still survive,
“And in the duteous work for ages live;
