"Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who
possessed beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage
without ferocity, and all the virtues of Man without his vices. This
praise, which would be unmeaning flattery if inscribed over human ashes,
but a tribute to the memory of Boatswain, a dog."
-- Lord Byron
