IN PETERBOROUGH CHURCHYARD by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "READER, PASS ON, NOR IDLY WASTE YOUR TIME"
Last Line: AND WHAT I WAS IN NO AFFAIR OF YOURS
Subject(s): EPITAPHS;

Reader, pass on, nor idly waste your time,
In bad biography, or bitter rhyme;
What I am, this cumbrous clay ensures,
And what I was is no affair of yours.
