_Puzzling Epitaph_ (Vol. ii., p. 311.).--J. BDN has, I think, not given
this epitaph quite correctly. The following is as it appeared in the
_Times_, 20th Sept., 1828 (copied from the _Mirror_). It is stated to be in
a churchyard in Germany:--
"O quid tua te
be bis bia abit
ra ra ra
es
et in
ram ram ram
i i
Mox eris quod ego nunc."
The reading is--
"O superbe quid superbis? tua superbia te superabit. Terra es et in terram
ibis. Mox eris quod ego nunc."
