    The rills of pleasure never run sincere,
    (Earth has no unpolluted spring)
    From the cursed soil some dang'rous taint they bear;
    So roses grow on thorns, and honey wears a sting.

Friend, for your epitaph I'm grieved,
Where still so much is said;
One half will never be read more

Where still so much is said;
One half will never be believed,
The other never read.
