ARGUMENT OF A DISSENTER
IN FAVOUR OF THE BURIAL BILL.
I never to the church will giveMy 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.
