ALL THE SAME IN THE END (EPITAPH IN HOMERSFIELD CHURCHYARD) by ISAAC ROSS

First Line: AS I WALKED BY MYSELF I TALKED TO MYSELF
Last Line: "THE SELF-SAME THING IT WILL BE."
Subject(s): EPITAPHS;
As I walked by myself I talked to myself,
And thus myself said unto me:
"Look to thyself and take care of thyself,
For nobody cares for thee."
So I turned to myself and I answered myself
In the self-same reverie:
"Look to thyself or not to thyself,
The self-same thing it will be."
