An Epitaph (From The Greek) Poem by William Cowper

An Epitaph (From The Greek)

Rating: 2.7


My name -- my country -- what are they to thee!
What, whether base or proud my pedigree?
Perhaps I far surpass'd all other men--
Perhaps I fell below them all -- what then?
Suffice it, stranger! that thou seest a tomb--
Thou know'st its use -- it hides -- no matter whom.
