ARGUMENT OF A DISSENTER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I never to the church will give
Last Line: That there is one dissenter less.
Alternate Author Name(s): Egerton-warburton, R. E.
Subject(s): Dissenters; Graves; Religion; Tombs; Tombstones; Theology


I NEVER to the church will give
My soul's submission while I live;
But why should she exclude when dead
My body from a churchyard-bed?
Because when she has seen it laid
In safety by her sexton's spade
She surely cannot feel distress
That there is one Dissenter less.
