OXFORD: HORACE HART PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY
Few griefs and many joys my life has held, Out-lengthened to the utmost bounds of eld. My name is Symmachus, in Chios born, Which rich with grapes the branching vines adorn; But when I died, my bones were hidden here, In Attic land, to gods and men most dear. Athenian Epitaph.
