hogarth's epitaph, st.nicholas, chiswick, london
william hogarth's tomb , 1764, with an epitaph by garrick:

"farewel great painter of mankind
who reach'd the noblest point of art,
whose pictur'd morals charm the mind,
and through the eye correct the heart.

if genius fire thee, reader, stay:
if nature touch thee, drop a tear:
if neither move thee, turn away
for hogarth's honour'd dust lies here."
