First Line: BRIGHT ROSE THE MORN AND VIGOROUS ROSE YOUNG PORT
Last Line: A MUTILATED CORPSE THE SUFFERER LAY
Subject(s): ACCIDENTS;EPITAPHS;

Bright rose the morn and vigorous rose young Port
Gay on the train he used his wonted sport
Fore noon arrived his mangled form they bore
With pain distorted and o'er whelmed with gore
When evening came to close the fatal day
A multilated corpse the sufferer lay
