John Wilmot - Epitaph on Charles II

Here lies a great and mighty King,
Whose promise none relied on;
He never said a foolish thing,
Nor ever did a wise one.

the epitaph seems to have been scribed much before the death of Charles II, as the contents were responded to by Charles II, saying that the content was true as whatever he said was his, but whatever was done was done by his ministers.
