Excerpt from Selections From Addison's Papers in the Spectator: Essay on Addison

After hav'ingthus surveyed this great magazine of mortality, as it were in the lump, I examined it more particularly by the accounts which I found on several of the monuments which are raised in every quarterpof that ancient fabric. Some of them were covered with such extravagant epitaphs, that if it were possible for the dead person to be acquainted with them, he would blush at the praises which his friends have bestowed upon, him. There are others so excessively modest, that-they deliver the charac ter of the person departed in Greek or Hebrew, and by that means are not understood once in a twelvez month. In the poetical quarter I found. There were poets who had no monuments, and monuments which had no poets. I observed, indeed, that the present war had filled the church with many of these unin habited monuments, which had been erected to the memory of persons whose bodies were perhaps buried in the plains of Blenheim, or in the bosom of the ocean.
