THAT flesh is grass is now as clear as day,

To any but the merest purblind pup;

Death cuts it down, and then, to make her hay,

My Lady B—— comes and rakes it up.

THE LAST WISH.

When I resign this world so briary,

To have across the Styx my ferrying,

Oh, may I die without a DIARY!

And be interr’d without a BURY-ing!
