Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.”

"Here lies the bones of Richard Lawton
Whose death, alas, strangely
brought on
trying his corns one day to mow off,
His razor slipped and cut his tipoff,
His toe, or rather what it grew to,
An inflammation quickly flew to,
Which took, alas! to mortifying,
And was the cause of Richard's dying".

"Underneath lies piles of stones,
Lies all that's left of Sally Jones.

But Jones was used to rhyme with stones".

Lewder
Who burst while drinking a

Called from this world to her
Heavenly rest!

effervesced".
