We persued our professions of  teaching and law.
And now we rest in Spavinaw.

Than never to have loved at all.

The Moving Finger writes and having writ moves on
neither piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel
half a line nor all thy tears wash out a word of it.

My beloved princess is at rest.

O Grave! Where is thy victory?
O Death! Where is thy sting?

The pains of death are past
Labour and sorrow cease
And life's long warfare closed at last
Thy soul is found in peace.
-Montgomery
