My name -- my country -- what are they to thee! <br />What, whether base or proud my pedigree? <br />Perhaps I far surpass'd all other men-- <br />Perhaps I fell below them all -- what then? <br />Suffice it, stranger! that thou seest a tomb-- <br />Thou know'st its use -- it hides -- no matter whom.<br /><br />William Cowper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-epitaph-from-the-greek/
