An Epitaph

[Squatchit]

Near this spot
Are deposited the remains of one
Who possessed beauty without vanity,
Strength without insolence,
Courage without ferocity,
And all the virtues of man without his vices.

This praise, which would be unmeaning flattery
If inscribed over human ashes,
Is but a just tribute to the memory of
Boatswain, a dog.

Lord Byron
(Inscription on a Monument at Newstead Abbey)

I always (with a certain perversion) liked this epitaph:

" I told you I was sick!"

I'd rather see a man on four legs than a dog on two.

Samuel Johnson (1649 - 1703)
