Melton Mowbray
The world’s an Inn, and I her guest:
I’ve eat and drank and took my rest,
With her awhile, and now I pay
Her lavish bill and go my way.
Barkby
Francis Fox, vicar, died 1662.
My debt to Death is paid unto a sand,
And pay thou must, that there doth reading stand;
And am laid down to sleep, till Christ from high
Shall raise me, although grim Death stand by.
