HERE lies Johnie Pigeon; <br />What was his religion? <br />Whae'er desires to ken, <br />To some other warl' <br />Maun follow the carl, <br />For here Johnie Pigeon had nane! <br /> <br /> <br />Strong ale was ablution, <br />Small beer persecution, <br />A dram was memento mori; <br />But a full-flowing bowl <br />Was the saving his soul, <br />And port was celestial glory.<br /><br />Robert Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/epitaph-on-john-dove-innkeeper/
