What place on earth hath he? A tailor's yard beneath, I wot, Where worms approaching be; For the wight that died o' Wednesday, Just laid the light below, ''• ' Is dead as the varlet turned to elay^ '^ ^ A score of years ago. '"'''"'^ briA ■: lO Where's he that died o' Sabba' day?rr/^ Good Lord, I'd not be he! The best of days is foul enough From this world's fare to flee; The Maltworm's Madrigal 2015 And the saint that died o' Sabba' day, With his grave turf yet to grow, Is dead as the sinner b...rought to pray A hundred years ago. Where's he that died o' yesterday? What better chance hath he To cHnk the can and toss the pot When this night's juniiets be? For the lad that died o' yesterday Is just as dead — ho! ho! — As the whoreson knave men laid away A thousand years ago. Edmund Clarence Stcdman [1833-1908] THE MALTWORM'S MADRIGAL I DRINK of the Ale of Southwark, I drink of the Ale of Chepe; At noon I dream on the settle; at night I cannot sleep; For my love, my love it groweth; I waste me all the day; And when I see sweet Alison, I know not what to say.
