In appreciation of the art of epitaphs on gravestones:

Beneath in the dust,

The mouldy old crust

of Nell Bachelor lately was shoven.

She was skilled in the arts

Of pies, custards, and tarts,

And Knew every trick of the oven.

Having lived long enough,

She made her last puff--

A puff by her husband much praised.

Now here she doth lie

To make a dirt pie,

In hopes that her crust will be raised.

by Thomas Warton, 1764
