Epitaph




Epitaph On A Friend
An honest woman lies at rest,
The friend of man, the friend of truth,
The friend of age, and guide of youth:
Few hearts like hers, with virtue warm'd,
Few heads with knowledge so inform'd;
If there's another world, she lives in bliss;
If there is none, she made the best of this.

Robert Burns (slightly amended)
