Epitaph on John Adams, of Southwell, a Carrier, Who Died of Drunkenness
JOHN ADAMS lies here, of the parish of Southwell,A Carrier who carried his can to his mouth well;He carried so much and he carried so fast,He could carry no more--so was carried at last;For the liquor he drank being too much for one,He could not carry off;--so he's now carri-on.
