a_svirn:
Here is the epitaph. 

Here lay the last remains of one 
Whose life, devoid of any fun,
Was one continuous sacrifice 
To everything he did despise:
The cause of Light, and Good, and Love – 
He hated all of the above

And even more he hated brats 
He had to teach his subtle arts.
One of his talent and ambition 
Should have become a great magician;
Alas, young men are slaves to fashion – 
He chose death eating for profession.
With that he was at first delighted 
But found his expectations blighted.
He felt perpetually guilty:
To rival Lords he pledged his fealty
And toiled his wits, strained his brainpower
To keep them pleased. This turned him sour. 
Poor man, he was misunderstood:
He killed, but for the Greater Good.
(The concept is the very devil:
It's also known as "Lesser Evil".)
He sought for Grace, but found none,
And after all was said and done
His was a damnable position:
His soul was destined for perdition;
A prize was offered for his head;
And soon he was among the dead!
