This is Keats

On my way back from St. Paul Outside the Walls basilica, I happened upon an old Protestant Cemetary. The first rule of adventuring: "be curious." So I went in... and found the grave of one John Keats.

K-eats! if thy cherished name be "writ in water"
E-ach drop has fallen from some mourner's cheek;
A-sacred tribute: such as heroes seek,
T-hough oft in vain-- for dazzling deeds of slaughter
S-leep on! Not honoured less for Epitaph so meek!
