    Baths, wine and Venus bring decay to our bodies; but baths, wine
    and Venus make up life.

Farewell, vain world, I've had enough of thee,
And Valies't not what thou Can'st say of me;
Thy Smiles I count not, nor thy frowns I fear,
My days are past, my head lies quiet here.
What faults you saw in me take Care to shun,
Look but at home, enough is to be done.

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

Though the weapon of the Lord was in his hand:"

And thy tomb may be unhonoured in the land.
