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”
