    Kind reader! take your choice to cry or laugh;
    Here Harod lies--but where's his Epitaph?
    If such you seek, try Westminister, and view
    Ten thousand, just as fit for him as you.

Let my character and motives repose in obscurity and peace, till
other times and other men can do them justice."
