Epigram on an Old Lady Who Had Some Curious Notions Respecting the Soul
From Epigrams and Jeux d'Esprit
Social Commentaries
In Nottingham county there lives at Swan Green,
As curst an old Lady as ever was seen;
And when she does die, which I hope will be soon,
She firmly believes she will go to the Moon!
