<poem>
Here on his back doth lay Sir Andrew Keeling;
Here on his back doth lay Sir Andrew Keeling;
And at his feet his mournful lady kneeling.
And at his feet his mournful lady kneeling.
But when he was alive and had his feeling,
But when he was alive and had his feeling,
She laid upon her back and he was kneeling.
She laid upon her back and he was kneeling.}}
