"And Heloise gave her whole heart to Pete Now eternally sleeps by his side"

Referring to the story of Peter Abelard and Heloise, who had an illicit love affair in the twelfth century. They had a son and secretly married, but were seperated and Abelard was castrated by Heloise's angry uncle. Abelard became a monk, and Heloise became a nun. After Abelard died his remains were given to Heloise and the two are buried side by side in the same crypt in Paris.
