Which lines do you like best in this poem?

Hmmm...Gray certainly can write some beautiful lines (even if, unfortunately, they do rhyme). I'm going to go with this one:

The breezy call of incense-breathing Morn

The first part of the epitaph is my favorite:

Here rests his head upon the lap of earth
A youth to fortune and to fame unknown.
Fair Science frowned not on his humble birth,
And Melancholy marked him for her own.
