Lord Byron - The Works of Lord Byron, Vol. 7 (Epitaph On John Adams, Of Southwell, A Carrier, Who Died Of Drunkenness) lyrics

Epitaph On John Adams, Of Southwell, A Carrier, Who Died Of Drunkenness John Adams lies here, of the parish of Southwell, A Carrier who carried his can to his mouth well; He carried so much and he carried so fast, He could carry no more—so was carried at last; For the liquor he drank being too much for one, He could not carry off;—so he's now carri-on.
