Prior
 
Nobles and heralds by your leave,
  Here lies what once was Matthew Prior;
The son of Adam and of Eve;
  Can Bourbon or Nassau claim higher?
        Prior.—Epitaph.
  1
To me ’twas given to die: to thee ’tis given
To live. Alas! one moment sets us even.
Mark! how impartial is the will of heaven!
        Prior.—For his Tombstone.
