_Epitaph on a Sexton._--Epitaph on a sexton, who received a great blow by
the clapper of a bell:
"Here lyeth the body of honest John Capper,
Who lived by the bell, and died by the clapper."
Answer to the foregoing:
"I am not dead indeed, but have good hope,
To live by the bell when you die by the rope."
