epigram on francis grose the antiquary

    the devil got notice that grose was a-dying

    so whip! at the summons, old satan came flying;

    but when he approached where poor francis lay moaning,

    and saw each bed-post with its burthen a-groaning,

    astonish'd, confounded, cries satan—“by god,

    i'll want him, ere i take such a damnable load!”
