King Thunstone and his whole court where so sorry at the loss of their little favourite, that they went into mourning, and raised a fine white marble monument over his grave, with the following epi- taph:
Here lyes Tom Thumb, King Arthur's knight, Who died by a spider's cruel bite. He was well known in Arthur's court, Where he afforded gallant sport; He rode at tilt and tournament, And on a mouse a hunting went. Alive he filled the court with mirth:-- His deoth to sorrow soon gave birth. Wipe, wipe your eyes, and shake your head, And cry,--Alas! Tom Thumb is dead!
