by Maurice Greene . A Catch for Three voices , in C minor

Text:

So peaceful rests without a stone, a name,
what once had beauty, titles, wealth, and fame,
how loved, how honoured once avails thee not,
to whom related, or by whom begot,
an heap of dust alone remains to thee,
’tis all thou art and all the proud shall be.
