_Gravestone Inscriptions._--In the churchyard of Homersfield (St. Mary,
Southelmham), Suffolk, was the gravestone of Robert Crytoft, who died Nov.
17, 1810, aged ninety, bearing the following epitaph:
"_Myself._
As I walk'd by myself I talk'd to myself,
And thus myself said to me,
Look to thyself and take care of thyself,
For nobody cares for thee.
So I turn'd to myself, and I answer'd myself
In the self-same reverie,
Look to myself or look not to myself,
The self-same thing will it be."
This stone was some years since taken up, and has remained standing in the
church tower. I know not whether the lines be original, but I have never
seen them elsewhere.
The following were and may be now in St. Stephen's churchyard, Ipswich, on
the stone of one Stephen Manister, clerk to Mr. Baron Thompson, who died in
1731, and by his will desired the following words to be there inscribed:
"What I gave I have, w^t I spent I had,
What I left I lost for want of giving it."
