Original Epitaph On A Drunkard Poem by Royall Tyler
Original Epitaph On A Drunkard
PRAY who lies here? why don't you know,
'Tis stammering, staggering, boozy Joe;
What, dead at last? I thought that death
Could never stop his long long breath.
True, death ne'er threw his dart at him,
But kill'd, like David, with a sling:
Whither he's gone we do not know,
With spirits above or spirits below:-
But, if he former taste inherits,
He's quaffing in a world of spirits
