EPITAPH
On PAUL FULLER and PETER POTTER, who lie buried close by each other in OLDHAM Church Yard.
'Tis held by Peter and by Paul,That when we fill our Graves or Urns,
Ashes to Ashes crumbling fall,
And Dust to Dust once more returns!
So here, a Truth unmeant for Mirth,
Appears in Monumental Lay;
Paul's Grave is fill'd Fuller's Earth,
And Peter's cramm'd with Potter's Clay!
