King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella


I plant these shrubs upon your grave, dear wife,
That something on this spot may boast of Life.
Shrubs must wither and all earth must rot;
Shrubs may revive: but you, thank heaven, will not.


Six feet beneath
This funeral weath
Is laid upon the shelf
One Jerry Jones
Who dealt in bones
And now he's bones himself


Beneath this stone, a lump of clay,
Lies Uncle Peter Dan'els,
Who, early in the month of May
Took off his winter flannels.


Dr. I. Letsome

When people's ill, they come to I,
I physics, bleeds and sweats'em;
Sometimes they live, Sometimes they die;
What's that to I? I Letsome.


Here lies the body of Mary Ann Lowder,
She burst while drinking a seidlitz powder,
Called from this world to heavenly rest,
She should have waited till it effervesced.


Here I lie with my three daughters,
Who died drinking Chelt'nam waters.
If we had stuck to Epsom Salt,
We should not sleep in this cold vault.


Thorp's corpse.

Here lies Newberry Will,
His life was finished 'cause he took ill,
But none'll miss him, he should've been wiser,
'Tis his own fault, for bein' such a miser.

enclosed in wood.

Mary Lefavour
1797    age 74

Reader pass on and 
ne'er waste your time,
On bad biography
and bitter rhyme.
For what I am this 
crump'rous clay insures,
And what I was,
is no matter of yours.


Here lies
William Deering
1838    age  49

For me the world
hath had its charms
And I've embraces 
them in my arms.
Courted its joys
and sought its bliss
Although I knew
the end was this.
