DICKORY CRONKE
world should for his virtue prize。 Stop; gentle passenger; and drop a tear;
Truth; justice; wisdom; all lie buried here。
What; though he wants a monumental stone; The common pomp of
every fool or knave; Those virtues which through all his actions shone
Proclaim his worth; and praise him in the grave。 His merits will a bright
example give; Which shall both time and envy too outlive。
Oh; had I power but equal to my mind; A decent tomb should soon this
place adorn; With this inscription: Lo; here lies confined A wondrous
man; although obscurely born; A man; though dumb; yet he was nature's
care; Who marked him out her own philosopher。
