You little know J. Wentworth Beane.

To judge him by the common host

Is reckoning without his ghost.

And it is something that befell

His ghost I chiefly have to tell.

At midnight of the very day

They laid J. Wentworth Beane away,

No sooner had the clock come round

To 12 P. M. than from the ground

Arose a spectre, lank and lean,
