Though of white marble and dressed straight

by the mason's upright rule, 

this is not a good man's tomb.

Sir, you must not estimate

the dead by stones. The stone is dumb

and covers a black heart just as well.

Here lies the feeble rag that was

Eunikidas, rotting in the dust.

– from the Greek Anthology, translated by Alistair Elliot
