Have you found your life distasteful?
My life did, and does, smack sweet.
Was your youth of pleasure wasteful?
Mine I saved and hold complete.
Do your joys with age diminish?
When mine fail me, I'll complain.
Must in death your daylight finish?
My sun sets to rise again.
Am I not a man and a brother?
From a medallion by Wedgwood
All the brothers were valiant, and all the sisters virtuous.
MARTIN. DECEASED. AGE 50.
