Give the title for the quote: Yet not to thine eternal resting-place    Shalt thou retire alone, nor couldst thou wish    Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down    With patriarchs of the infant world—with kings,    The powerful of the earth—the wise, the good,    Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past,    All in one mighty sepulchre.   .  .  . The youth in life’s green spring, and he who goes    In the full strength of years, matron and maid,    The speechless babe, and the gray-headed man—    Shall one by one be gathered to thy side,    By those, who in their turn shall follow them.  

Montresor ironically tells this to the servants to be sure they will be gone when he returns with Fortunato.
