THE FOLLOWING DROLL EPITAPH IS ON A MONUMENT IN CHIPPENHAM
NORFOLK. 
Here lies honest Ned,
Because he is dead:
Had it been his father,
We had much rather;
Had it been his mother,
We had rather than the other:
Had it been his sister,
We ne'er would have mist her:
But since 'tis honest Ned,
There is no more to be said.
