George Gordon Byron - Epitaph On John Adams, Of Southwell - A Carrier, Who Died Of Drunkenness
Work rating: Low

JOHN ADAMS lies here, of the parish of Southwell,
A Carrier who carried his can to his mouth well:
He carried so much, and he carried so fast,
He could carry no more‑so was carried at last;
For, the liquor he drank, being too much for one, 
He could not carry off,--so he`s now carri-on.

September 1807.
