My great great Uncles Epitaph.......how correct he is.. Here lies the dust of old E.P. One instance of mortality; Pennsylvania born, Carlina bred, In Tennessee died on his bed His youthful days he spent in pleasure, His latter days in gathring treasure; From superstition livd quite free And practiced strict morality. To holy cheats was never willing To give one solitary shilling, He can foresee, and in foreseeing He equals most of men in being That church and state will join their powr And misry on this country showr. And Methodists with their camp bawling, Will be the cause of this down falling. An era not destined to see, It waits for poor posterity First fruits and tithes are odious things And so are Bishops, Priests and Kings[
