A chill of woe electric, begirt his heart, like lead,

He found a row of corpses, and every corpse was dead!

I've sketched him, with the crowbar, and falling pipe, to show

His awful fright, and sorrow, the fact is, such a blow

Might paralize his senses, unfit him for his trade—

I hope some kindly ladies, will have collections made.

But yet a glamoured beauty was on them all, so nice,

He felt like pins and needles, in glass of strawberry ice,

He shambled round a corner, "O Constable!" he said,

"I've found a row of corpses, and every corpse is dead!"
