First Line: He who underground doth slumber
Last Line: Felt sound slumber overtake him.
Subject(s): Death; Graves; Dead, The; Tombs; Tombstones
He who underground doth slumber
Few men envied, many pitied,
Suffered deaths withouten number
Ere at last this life he quitted.
Friend, let not your footsteps jar on
This his grave lest you awake him;
For 'tis the first night poor Scarron
Felt sound slumber overtake him.
