XV.

For one who would not be buried in Westminster

Abbey.

Heroes and kings! your distance keep;

In peace let one poor poet sleep,
Who never flatter'd folks like you:

Let Horace blush, and Virgil too.

XVI.

Another on the same.

UNDER this marble, or under this sill,
Or under this turf, or ev'n what they will,
Whatever an heir, or a friend in his stead,
Or any good creature shall lay o'er my head,

Lies one who ne'er car'd, and still cares not, a pin
What they said, or may say, of the mortal within;
But who, living and dying, serene still and free,
Trusts in God that as well as he was he shall be.
