Poem by William Cowper

Epitaphium Alterum

Hic etiam jacet,
Qui totum novennium vixit,
Puss.
Siste paulisper,
Qui præteriturus es,
Et tecum sic reputa--
Hunc neque canis venaticus,
Nec plumbum missile,
Nec laqueus,
Nec imbres nimii,
Confecêre:
Tamen mortuus est--
Et moriar ego. 

1. To The Rev. Mr. Newton
2. The Dog and the Water Lily
3. Welcome to the Table
4. Heroism
5. Abuse of the Gospel
