Here lies John Hyde
He first lived and then died
He dyed to live and lived to dye
And hopes to live eternally.

Without my consent
And left in the same manner.

without any warning,
I was well at night
and dead in the morning.

Old Thomas Mulvaney lies here
His mouth ran from ear to ear.
Reader tread lightly on this wonder,
For if he yawns you're gone to thunder.

Here Lies Matthew Mudd
Death did him no hurt;
When alive he was Mudd
But now he's only dirt

They buried him today.
He lived the life of Riley
while Riley was away.

Though shot and shell around flew fast
On Balaclava's Plain,
Unscathed he passed to fall at last
Run over by a train.

Friend, in your epitaphs I'm grieved
So very much is said.
One half will never be believed,
The other never read.
