Epigram On A Slanderer

Title:     Epigram On A Slanderer
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge [More Titles by Coleridge]

From yonder tomb of recent date,
There comes a strange mephitic blast.
Here lies--Ha! Backbite, you at last--
'Tis he indeed: and sure as fate,
They buried him in overhaste--
Into the earth he has been cast,
And in this grave,
Before the man had breathed his last.

1799
