ALTERNATIVE EPITAPHS “—— _of heart-failure_.” (i) Death touched me where your head had lain. What other spot could he have found So tender to receive a wound, So versed in all the arts of pain? (ii) Love came, and gave me wind and sun, Love went, and left me light and air. Nor gave he anything more fair Than what I found when he was gone.
