Excerpt from My Egotistigraphy Unknown it is to me, who handed downFrom sire to son my humble family;Whether they dwelt in low obscurity, Or by achievement purchased high renown;Whether with princely or baronial crownTheir brows were bound, or martyr-wreath of flame: No glories mark the track through which my nameHath come: I only know it as my own.
