IX.
[A Miser rots below this mould'ring stone]
A Miser rots below this mould'ring stone,Who starv'd himself, through spleen, to skin and bone,
Lest worms might riot on his flesh at last,
And boast, what he ne'er could, a full repast.
Such still was his propensity to save,
Not man alone, he would defraud the grave.
But O! could reptiles here in triumph laugh!
On earth's devour'd the Miser's better half.
