Note 25 — THE CASTLE OF CHEPSTOW, Monmouthshire.
Reading edition
As no such epitaph was at all likely to be permitted to be engraven, on the tombstone, if Marten was even allowed a tombstone, until after the Revolution, which took place nine years after his death, is it not more likely that these lines were composed by some quaint “Old Mortality” of the Cromwell school, than by the subject of them?—Correspondent.
