198. From St. Mary’s, Swansea. On Hugh Somerville Head, R.N.,

When I am dead
Let not the day be writ;
Some will remember it!!!
Deep let it rest
In one fond female breast,
Then is my memory blest.

Here lies Sir John Plumpudding, of the Grange,
Who hanged himself one morning for a change.

200. By Dr. Goldsmith, on Mr. Edwd. Pardon:—

Who long was a bookseller’s hack;
He led such a damnable life in this world,
I don’t think he’ll ever come back.
