Notes for Ezekiel Franklin POLK
"Here lies the dust of old E.P.
Once instance of mortality
Pennsylvania born, Carolina bred
In Tennessee died in his bed
His youthful days he spent in pleasure
His latter days in gathering treasure
From superstition lived quite free
And practiced strict morality
To holy cheats was never willing
To give one solitary shilling
He can foresee, and for foreseeing
He equals most men in being
That Church and State will join their power
And misery on this country will shower
And Methodist with their camp bawling
Will be the cause of this down falling
An era not destined to see
It waits for poor posterity
First fruits and tithes are odious things
And so are Bishops, Priests and Kings"
