44 [Impromptus]


279

[The Bishop of Chester]

The Bishop of Chester
Though wiser than Nestor
And fairer than Esther,
If you scratch him will fester.

[Here lies Edmund Keene Lord Bishop of Chester]

Here lies Edmund Keene Lord Bishop of Chester,
He eat a fat goose and could not digest her—

[Here lies Mrs Keene, the Bishop of Chester]

Here lies Mrs Keene, the Bishop of Chester,
She had a bad face which did sadly molest her.

[Here lives Harry Vane]

Here lives Harry Vane,
Very good claret and fine champagne.

[When you rise from your dinner as light as before]

When you rise from your dinner as light as before,
'Tis a sign you have eat just enough and no more.
