On Visiting Westminster Abbey
(Amanda McKitterick Ros)
Holy Moses! Have a look! // Flesh decayed in every nook! // Some rare bits of brain lie here // Mortal loads of beef and beer, // Some of whom are turned to dust, // Every one bids lost to lust...
Famous some were -- yet they died; // Poets -- Statesmen -- Rogues beside, // Kings -- Queens, all of them do rot, // What about them? Now -- they're not!
