  TWO EPITAPHS ON A YOUNG LADY WHO LIVED NEGLECTED AND DIED OBSCURE

  (1801 or 1802)

  I

  Under this cold marble stone

  Lie the sad remains of one

  Who, when alive, by few or none

  Was lov'd, as lov'd she might have been,

  If she prosp'rous days had seen,

  Or had thriving been, I ween.

  Only this cold funeral stone

  Tells, she was beloved by one,

  Who on the marble graves his moan.

  II

  A Heart which felt unkindness, yet complained not,

  A Tongue which spake the simple Truth, and feigned not:

  A Soul as white as the pure marble skin

  (The beauteous Mansion it was lodgèd in)

  Which, unrespected, could itself respect,

  On Earth was all the Portion of a Maid

  Who in this common Sanctuary laid,

  Sleeps unoffended by the World's neglect. The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb — Volume 4
