If of the dead save good nought should be said,

He'll get no epitaph who here is laid:

He overturnèd churches, did confound

The heav'n and Earth, threw monuments to ground,

Disdained and scornèd all memorials

Of antique ages, and for funerals

Of worthy men he suffered not a tomb

T' enclose their bones, nor any temple hold

Their sad remembrances; nor would hear told

That husbands and their wives one quire contained;

That sacred places by the saints were stained;

That ravens their corses rather should consume

Ere to church burials they should presume. 

He filled the age he lived in with strange dreams;

Now the posterity gives him anathemes,

Detesteth his remembrance, and doth pray

He never rise more in the latter day. 

– William Drummond of Hawthornden (1585-1649)
