Inscription on a Wall in St. Edmunds Church in Lombard Street, LondonAnonymous
M
That thou givest with thine hand, that thou shalt find;
For widows be slothful, and children be unkind,
Executors be covetous, and keep all that they find
If anybody ask where the dead’s goods became?
So God help me and Halidam, he died a poor man.
