"Here lies a poor woman who was always tired,
She lived in a house where help wasn't hired: Her last words on earth were: "Dear friends, I am going To where there's no cooking, or washing, or sewing, For evertying there is exact to my wishes, For where they don't eat there's no washing of dishes, I'll be where loud anthems will always be ringing, But have no voice I'll be quiet of the singing, Don't mourn for me now, don't mourn for me never,
I am going to do nothing for ever and ever.

On a grave for another man, it read;

'This time to part, but oh!--what is to pay?"
On the gravestone of a man and wife buried together it reads;
Within this grave do like, Back to back, my wife and I;
When the last trump the air shall fill,
If she gets up, I'll just Lie still.
