Hello, Chris. I'll forward this to Alan in case he isn't on the list. In
the meantime, I assume that those on the list remember the epitaph for
Penelope Rich that is found in a number of commonplace books, some at the
Folger. I recite it to my students so they'll know I'm not stuffy even if
a gray-haired Renaissance scholar: "Here lies my Lade Penelope Rich / Or
the Countess of Devonshire, choose ye which. / One stone contents her--lo
what death can do-- / Who when living was not content with two." Anne
Prescott.

knows.
