Hic Jacet + 

The coroner’s merry little children + 

Have such twinkling brown eyes. + 

Their father is not of gay men + 

And their mother jocular in no wise, + 

Yet the coroner’s merry little children + 

Laugh so easily. + 

They laugh because they prosper. + 

Fruit for them is upon all branches. + 

Lo! how they jibe at loss, for + 

Kind heaven fills their little paunches! + 

It’s the coroner’s merry, merry children + 

Who laugh so easily. + 
