Epigram On Francis Grose The Antiquary

    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!”
