(Solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant)
Here rest in peace the bones of Henry Reece, / Dead through his bitter championship of Peace / Against all eagle-nosed and cynic lords / Who keep the _Pax Romana_ with their swords.
Henry was only son of Thomas Reece, / Banker and sometime Justice of the Peace, / And of Jane Reece whom Thomas kept in dread / By _Pax Romana_ of his board and bed.
