Impromptus + 

Here lives Harry Vane, + 

Very good claret and fine champaign. + 

The Bishop of Chester, + 

Though wiser than Nestor + 

And fairer than Esther, + 

If you scratch him will fester. + 

Here lies Edmund Keene Lord Bishop of Chester, + 

He eat a fat goose, and could not digest her. + 

Here lies Mrs. Keene the she Bishop of Chester, + 

She had a bad face which did sadly molest her. + 

Now clean, now hideous, mellow now, now gruff, + 

She swept, she hissed, she ripened and grew rough, + 

At Brougham, Pendragon, Appleby and Brough. + 

When you rise from your dinner as light as before, + 

’Tis a sign you have eat just enough and no more. + 

There pipes the woodlark, and the song-thrush there + 

Scatters his loose notes in the waste of air. + 
