A Correction of a Sentiment, . . . [quote from an
inscription on a monument]
"life is a jest, and all things show it;
"I thought it once, but now I know it?
  Life's a most serious thing, and is no jest;
  Look round you where you will, and all things show it;
  And they who have injurious thoughts profess'd, 
  If not while here, hereafter they shall know it.
