Lindley Murray states that will indicates a future;
Sir Matthew Wood finds a present derived from a will.
He scraped all day—he scraped alway—
He scraped from stocks and stones—
If he could have sold his flesh for gold,
He'd have scraped his very bones.
Gold was his good—untired he stood,
For nothing but gold did please,
Till he rested his bones, 'neath the churchyard stones,
And left his Leg-at-tees.
