Billeted by death, I quartered here remain, And when the trumpet sounds I'll rise and march again. On a Chelsea Hospital veteran, we have the following interesting epitaph:-- Here lies WILLIAM HISELAND, A Veteran, if ever Soldier was, Who merited well a Pension, If long service be a merit, Having served upwards of the days of Man. Ancient, but not superannuated; Engaged in a Series of Wars, Civil as well as Foreign, Yet maimed or worn out by neither. His complexion was Fresh and Florid; His Health Hale and Hearty; His memory Exact and Ready. In Stature He exceeded the Military Size; In Strength He surpassed the Prime of Youth; And What rendered his age still more Patriarchal, When above a Hundred Years old He took unto him a Wife!

Alone, unharm'd, a tiger he opprest, And crush'd to death the monster of a beast. Thrice twenty mounted Moors he overthrew, Singly, on foot, some wounded, some he slew, Dispersed the rest,--what more could Samson do? True to his friends, a terror to his foes, Here now in peace his honour'd bones repose. Below, in bas-relief, he is represented struggling with the tiger, both the combatants appearing in the attitude of wrestlers.
