A poem by Jean de La Fontaine

Epitaph Of La Fontaine

________________________________________________
Title:     Epitaph Of La Fontaine
Author: Jean de La Fontaine [More Titles by La Fontaine]

JOHN, as he came, so went away,
Consuming capital and pay,
Holding superfluous riches cheap;
The trick of spending time he knew,
Dividing it in portions two,
For idling one, and one for sleep.







[The end]
