Epitaph on the Sexton Who Rung His Own Knell
ON THE SEXTON WHO RUNG HIS own KNELL .
Let no rude profligate dare laugh
At th' head-piece of this epitaph;
'Tis true — — for as old John-a-Nokes
Peal'd out the bell with solemn strokes,
It fell, — (no hand was by to save!)
Announc'd his death, and form'd his grave.
