Epitaphs
IF truth, perspicuity, wit, gravity, and every property pertaining to
the ancient or modern epitaph, may be expected united in one single
epitaph, it is in one made for Burbadge, the tragedian, in the days of
Shakespeare,--the following being the whole,--Exit Burbadge.
Jerrold, perhaps, trumped this by his anticipatory epitaph on that
excellent man and distinguished historian, Charles Knight,--Good
Knight.
