“Here lies Rosamund (rose of the world)
Not a clean rose.
She no longer smells rosy.
So hold your nose.”
Inscription on the reburial of Rosamund, mistress of Henry II, who had her buried in a church. Later the clergy took exception to her being there and buried her outside the church. The guys tasked with doing so didn’t seem to appreciate their work.
So..... not all roses smell just as sweet! ;)
Nice :-)
