Engraved on the Coffin of Mr. Pitcher, a noted Ale-house keeper in Gloucestershire.
Stop mourning friends and shed a grateful tear
Upon thy once loved Pitcher’s moving bier,
He quits this world without regret or railing,
Life’s full of pain—he always has been aleing.
Resigned he fell contented with his lot,
Convinced all Pitchers soon must go to Pot.
