Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know

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,
is but a just tribute to the Memory of
BOATSWAIN, a DOG,
who was born in Newfoundland May 1803,
and died at Newstead Nov.r 18th, 1808.

- George Gordon Byron

Near this Spot
are deposited the Remains of one
who possessed Power without Hubris,
Knowledge without Abuse,
Belief without Distortion
and all the Virtues Of Animal without it's Vices.
This praise, which would be an unmeaning Flattery
if inscribed over animal's Ashes,
is but a just tribute to the Memory of
HUMAN, a GOD,
who was born in "Time Out" February Whatever,
and died at "The Same Event" February Whatever.

- someone, out of something, always on nothing, here on anything
