Thomas Hood

“ Who owes the patent ground;
And tell him that his patent graves,
Are neither safe nor sound.
I vow that his new land-of-tombs,
Made so genteel and pretty;
Is not a bit more safer than,
Old Tombland in the City. ”

“ Would end with my last minute;
But though I went to my long home,
I did not stay long in it.”
“The body-snatchers they have come,
And made a snatch at me;
It’s very hard them kind of men,
Won’t let a body be.” ”
