A CURIOUS EPITAPH
The following epitaph commemorates the death of Thomas Cole, who died in 1669, and is buried at Lillington, Dorset: Reader, you have within this grave A Cole rakt up in dust • His courteous fute saw it was late, And that to "bed lie must. So all was swept up to be kept Alive until the day The trump should blow it up and show The Cole but sleeping lay. Then do not doubt the Cole's not out, Though it in ashes lies; That little spark, now in the dark, Will, like a Phoenix, rise.
