Last Line: FOR NOTHING SHALT THOU FIND BUT BONES AND DUST.
Subject(s): BONES; CEMETERIES; DEATH; GRAVES; MONUMENTS; GRAVEYARDS; DEAD, THE; TOMBS; TOMBSTONES;
TUMULTUOUS sea, whose wrath and foam are spent
So nigh to Eumares' worn monument;
Spare if thou wilt and shatter if thou must,
For nothing shalt thou find but bones and dust.
