Matthew Prior. Dialogues of the Dead and Other Works | ||
ON A FART, LET IN THE HOUSE of COMMONS.
Reader I was born, and cry'd;I crack'd, I smelt, and so I dy'd.
Like Julius Cæsar's was My death,
Who in the senate lost his breath.
Much alike entomb'd does lie
The noble Romulus and I;
And when I dy'd, like Flora fair,
I left the Common-Wealth my heir
