Death & Dying
An Epitaph on Thomas Jonce
From Poems, ed. O. Gilchrist (1807)
Death & Dying
Here, for the nonce,
Came Thomas Jonce,
In St. Giles church to lye.
None Welsh before,
None Welshman more,
Till Shon Clerk die.
I’ll tole the bell,
I’ll ring his knell;
He died well,
He’s sav’d from hell;
And so farwel
Tom Jonce.
