February 25th 1761
Despite Mr. Tangle's distracting screams I have made considerable progress on the epitaph for the stone which will mark my final resting place. I could not resist the temptation of writing this in my own blood...
Cornelius Hump, Gent.
Born 1715, deceased ...
The pie is eaten
The crust remains
No more trifles
No more pains
Every Spring the frog
Will jump
But still I lie,
Cornelius Hump
