    Where Caesars, heroes, peasants, hermits lie,
    Blended in dust together; where the slave
    Rests from his labors; where th' insulting proud
    Resigns his powers; the miser drops his hoard:
    Where human folly sleeps.

Await alike th' inevitable hour,
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

Have we beheld thee play the Sexton's part;
Each comic heart must now be grieved to see
The Sexton's dreary part performed on thee.
