Poem by Matthew Prior

Epitaph Extempore

Nobles and Heralds, by your leave,
                 Here lies what once was Matthew Prior,
The son of Adam and of Eve;
                 Can Stuart or Nassau claim higher. 

1. An Ode - Presented to the King, on His Majesty's Arrival in Holland, after the Queen's Death
2. A Lover's Anger
3. An Ode - Inscribed to the Memory of the Hon. Colonel George Villiers
4. If Wine and Music Have the Power
5. On a Fart - Let in the House of Commons
