Inscription upon the Grave-stone of George Button Taylor, where lies interr'd several of that Name.
Reader, bid ev'ry Taylor leave his House,Knights of the ancient Order of the Louse,
Hither resort to see that Death's turn'd daft,
For he's commenc'd a Brother of the Craft.
Never such Wonder seen betwixt the Poles,
All the Graves here are turn'd to Button Holes,
And fill'd with Buttons, Oh! 'tis strange indeed,
Made without Hands, a Needle or a Thread.
