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.
