When Bibo thought fit from the world to retreat, <br />As full of Champagne as an egg's full of meat, <br />He waked in the boat, and to Charon he said, <br />He would be row'd back, for he was not yet dead. <br />Trim the boat and sit quiet, stern Charon replied, <br />You may have forgot - you were drunk when you died.<br /><br />Matthew Prior<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bibo-and-charon/
