EPITAPHIANA.

1. From Preston Churchyard, near Weymouth:—

One and forty years
In wedlock we have been;
Ten children we have had,
But one is to be seen.

2. On an Avaricious Man:—

At rest beneath this churchyard stone
Lies stingy Jemmy Wyatt;
He died one morning just at ten, and
Saved a dinner by it.

The wedding-day appointed was
And wedding clothes provided;
But ere that day did come, alas!
He sickened, and he—dided!
