| A typical 18th century gravestone |
One rich for nothing but a memory
His name was Sir John Mandevile content
Having seen much with a small continent
Towards which he travell'd ever since his birth
And at last pawn'd his Body for the earth
Which by a statute must in mortgage be
Till a Redeemer come to set it free.
