I, the late Owe Gierløv Meyer, <br />Did stupid things my life entire, <br />Though this time I did five of them, <br />The last of which was quite a gem; <br />For I went home and cut my throat, <br />And here I sit, in Hell’s deep moat, <br />Where now the devil sets on fire <br />Me, the late Owe Gierløv Meyer.<br /><br />Johan Herman Wessel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/epitaph-72/
