Here lies the noble warrior that never blunted sword;
Here lies the noble courtier that never kept his word;
Here lies his excellency that governed all the state;
Here lies the L. of Leicester that all the world did hate.

Walter Raleigh (c. 1552–1618) English statesman, soldier, writer, explorer

“Epitaph on the Earl of Leicester, died September 4, 1588”
