Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs.
—Richard II, Act III, Scene ii.
Duncan is in his grave; After life's fitful fever he sleeps well.
—Macbeth, Act III, Scene ii.
Let there be no inscription upon my tomb; let no man write my epitaph.
—Robert Emmet.
Friend, in your Epitaphs I'm griev'd So very much is said, One half will never be believ'd The other never read.
