cemetery, n.  an isolated suburban spot where mourners match lies,
poets write at a target and stone-cutters spell for a wager.  the
inscriptions following will serve to illustrate the success attained
in these olympian games:

        his virtues were so conspicuous that his enemies, unable to
    overlook them, denied them, and his friends, to whose loose lives
    they were a rebuke, represented them as vices.  they are here
    commemorated by his family, who shared them.

        in the earth we here prepare a
        place to lay our little clara.
