The character of a certain mischief-making person given in short.
O, painted sepulchre! thou art
A paragon of evil—
Canst act a very sainted part,
And yet delight the d---l.
A paragon of evil—
Canst act a very sainted part,
And yet delight the d---l.
HIS EPITAPH.
Come, lesser hypocrites, draw near;
In sackcloth-mood behave!
And if ye cannot wring a tear,
Why, spit upon this grave!
For of all scoundrels out of h---l
This one, while living, bore the bell.
In sackcloth-mood behave!
And if ye cannot wring a tear,
Why, spit upon this grave!
For of all scoundrels out of h---l
This one, while living, bore the bell.
