ANOTHER VERSION
Under this stone does Walter Harcourt lie,
Who valued nought that God or man could give;
He lived as if he never thought to die;
He died as if he dared not hope to live![962:1]

Obiit Saturday, Sept. 10, 1830.
W. H. EHEU!
Beneath this stone does William Hazlitt lie,
Thankless of all that God or man could give.
He lived like one who never thought to die,
He died like one who dared not hope to live.

My looking-glass will always be at home.
