Poet Analysis

First Line: STRANGER, WHERE I AT PEACE DO LIE
Last Line: LEAVE ME TO MY OWN COMPANY!
Subject(s): EPITAPHS;

Stranger, where I at peace do lie
Make less ado to press and pry!
Am I a Scoff to be who did
Life like a stallion once bestride?
Is all my history but what
A fool hath -- soon as read -- forgot?
Put back my weeds, and silent be.
Leave me to my own company!
