Letter "U" » Undertakers
"Ye undertakers, tell us,
'Midst all the gorgeous figures you exhibit,
Why is the principal conceal'd, for which
You make this mighty stir?"
Author: Robert Blair
About: Undertakers
"There was a man bespake a think,
Which when the owner home did bring,
He that made it did refuse it:
And he that brought it would not use it,
And he that hath it doth now know
Whether he hath it yea or no."
Author: Sir John Davies
About: Undertakers
"Why is the hearse with scutcheons blazon'd round,
And with the nodding plume of ostrich crown'd?
No; the dead know it not, nor profit gain;
It only serves to prove the living vain."
Author: John Gay
About: Undertakers
"Diaulus, lately a doctor, is now an undertaker' what he does as

About: Undertakers
"There's a grim one-horse hearse in a jolly round trot;
To the churchyear a pauper is going I wot;
The road it is rough, and the hearse has no springs,
And hark to the dirge that the sad driver sings
Rattle his bones over the stones,
He's only a pauper whom nobody owns."
Author: Thomas Noel
About: Undertakers
