Epitaph On John Adams, Of Southwell - A Carrier, Who Died Of Drunkenness

JOHN ADAMS lies here, of the parish of Southwell, A Carrier who carried his can to his mouth well: He carried so much, and he carried so fast, He could carry no more‑so was carried at last; For, the liquor he drank, being too much for one, He could not carry off,--so he's now carri-on.
