Original text and translations

English.png English text

In paper case, hard by this place,
Dead a poor dormouse lies;
And soon or late, summon'd by fate,
Each prince, each monarch dies.

Ye sons of verse, while we rehearse,
Attend instructive rhyme;
No sins had Dor to answer for:
Repent of yours in time.
