Hic etiam jacet, <br />Qui totum novennium vixit, <br />Puss. <br />Siste paulisper, <br />Qui præteriturus es, <br />Et tecum sic reputa-- <br />Hunc neque canis venaticus, <br />Nec plumbum missile, <br />Nec laqueus, <br />Nec imbres nimii, <br />Confecêre: <br />Tamen mortuus est-- <br />Et moriar ego.<br /><br />William Cowper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/epitaphium-alterum-2/
