THOMAS LOGGE by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: HERE LIES THOMAS LOGGE - A RASCALLY DOGGE
Last Line: SHOULD BE AT HIM AGAIN.
Subject(s): EPITAPHS;

Here lies Thomas Logge -- A Rascally Dogge;
A poor useless creature -- by choice as by nature;
Who never served God -- for kindness or Rod;
Who, for pleasure or penny, -- never did any
Work in his life -- but to marry a Wife,
And live aye in strife:
And all this he says -- at the end of his days
Lest some fine canting pen
Should be at him again.
