uly 4th 1673.
The Duke of Norfolk, a great whist player.
(By Sheridan.)
Here lies England's premier baron,
Patiently awaiting the last trump.
Here lies a Cardinal who wrought
Both good and evil in his time.
The good he did was good for naught
Not so the evil--that was prime.
Elihu Yale, the founder of Yale College at New Haven, lies buried in
Wrenham, Wales. His monument bears this inscription:
Born in America, in Europe bred
In Africa traveled in Asia wed,
Where long he lived and thrived
And at London died.
Much good, some ill he did so hope all's even
And his soul through mercy is gone to Heaven.
You that survive and read this tale take care,
For this most certain event to prepare;
Where blest in peace the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in the silent dust.
