II death could speak. the king would
In justice to his crown.
His act they were the minister's,
His words they were his own.
Even il a man was inadvertently
misplaced, he had 20 have a tomb
stone and an epitaph, as is shown by
the following in an English church
yard:
Underneath this sod lies John Round
Who was lost In the sea and never
was found.
Rhyme or Free Verse
Epitaphs were correct style and
everybody had them. Those individ-
uals whose outstanding deeds and
characteristics could not be squeezed
into rhyme couplets were gloriously
immor-talized in free verse. Lady
o'Looneys epitaph is a good ex-
ample:
Here Hes the body OF
Lady O'Looney,
Great niece of Burke,
Commonly called the sublime,
She was
Bland. passionate. and deeply re-
ligious:
Also painted in water -colors
And sent several pictures to the Ex-
hibition.
She vas first cousin to Lady Jones.
And Of such is the kingdom of heaven.
But those DAYS are gone. Poets no
longer specialize in epitaphs. Hen
pecked husbands get even by some
other means than by writing sarcastic
verses TO go on tombstones. The
epitaph, which started off well in this
country in the graveyards of Mas
sachusetts, is practically defunct.
Still, the possibilities OF epitaph re-
form, even in this country. should
rot be overlooked. Like England, we
have ample material which should be
of interest to censors in our old New
England churchyards. The verse
which is said to have started the
agitation in the English village is on
an old stone. We quote it now. In
future, it may be permissible 70 de-
signatc it only by four rows of dots:
Here les the body of Mary Ann
Who burst from drinking a seidlitz
powder.
Called from this world to her heav-
She should have waited till it ef-
fervesced.
Danger of Levity Less
The danger of the public catching
the idea that death is not to be taken
seriously is less now, TO be sure. than
II might have been a few decades
back when promenades in the grave
yard were a popular outdoor sport.
Still, the old grinning, chuckling cpl
taphs are there, legible under the
! CRIME, TO corrupt anybody who strays
into their neighborhood.
Take the following. for instance,
out in Iowa, written on stone for dig
| nified and somber minded middle
westerners 70. read:
Beneath this stone our baby lays,
He neither cries nor hollers.
He lived Just one and twenty days
And cost us forty dollars.
Or consider that admired and copied
verse by some unknown English poet:
Here lies my wife,
Here lies she,
Eallelujah.
Hallelujee!
The effect Of such epitaphs on the
| public is obviously demoralizing. In
| the future we nay have a national
| censor of epitaphs TO see that covers
! are made for all epitaphs which do
| rot conform to the national regula-
| tions foe tombstone literature. Or
possibly the epitaph official will
| gather together n collection Of for
! biddon tombstones and keep them in
a locled and guarded graveyard
| museum.
Anyway, the English village may
expect 70 go down in history as the
| pioneer in the crusade for Sfeserva-
! tion oi tombstone dignity.
