Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBEFGHIJKLMNOPB| Doggerel ' he thought 'will do for church wardens | A |
| Poetry's precious enough not to be wasted ' | B |
| And rhymed it all out with a skew smile | C |
| 'Spare these stones Curst be he that moves my bones | D |
| Will hold the hands of masons and grave diggers ' | B |
| But why did the good man care For he wanted quietness | E |
| He had tasted enough life in his time | F |
| To stuff a thousand he wanted not to swim wide | G |
| In waters nor wander the enormous air | H |
| Nor grow into grass enter through the mouths of cattle | I |
| The bodies of lusty women and warriors | J |
| But all be finished He knew it feelingly the game | K |
| Of the whirling circles had become tiresome | L |
| 'Annihilation's impossible but insulated | M |
| In the church under the rhyming flagstone | N |
| Perhaps my passionate ruins may be kept off market | O |
| To the end of this age Oh a thousand years | P |
| Will hardly leach ' he thought 'this dust of that fire ' | B |
