As Death was a riding out one day	A
Across Mount Carmel he took his way	A
Where he met a mendicant monk	B
Some three or four quarters drunk	B
With a holy leer and a pious grin	C
Ragged and fat and as saucy as sin	C
Who held out his hands and cried	D
'Give give in Charity's name I pray	A
Give in the name of the Church O give	E
Give that her holy sons may live '	F
And Death replied	D
Smiling long and wide	D
'I'll give holy father I'll give thee a ride '	F
	-
With a rattle and bang	G
Of his bones he sprang	G
From his famous Pale Horse with his spear	H
By the neck and the foot	I
Seized the fellow and put	I
Him astride with his face to the rear	H
	-
The Monarch laughed loud with a sound that fell	J
Like clods on the coffin's sounding shell	J
'Ho ho A beggar on horseback they say	A
Will ride to the devil ' and thump	K
Fell the flat of his dart on the rump	K
Of the charger which galloped away	A
	-
Faster and faster and faster it flew	L
Till the rocks and the flocks and the trees that grew	L
By the road were dim and blended and blue	L
To the wild wide eyes	M
Of the rider in size	M
	-
Resembling a couple of blackberry pies	M
Death laughed again as a tomb might laugh	N
At a burial service spoiled	O
And the mourners' intentions foiled	O
By the body erecting	P
Its head and objecting	P
To further proceedings in its behalf	N
	-
Many a year and many a day	A
Have passed since these events away	A
The monk has long been a dusty corse	Q
And Death has never recovered his horse	Q
For the friar got hold of its tail	R
And steered it within the pale	R
Of the monastery gray	A
Where the beast was stabled and fed	S
With barley oil and bread	S
Till fatter it grew than the fattest friar	T
And so in due course was appointed Prior	T
