"In a country churchyard an old Irish couple, with a dog, gaze at a (tilted) tombstone (right) inscribed: 'Here lies / Iohn Highley. / whose Father & Mother. / were Drown d / in their passage to / America / Had they both lived / they / would have / been Buried Here.' The woman (left) says: "Poor Dear Craters. - so you see Pat - if they had lived till they had died they intended to come and be buried amongest us." He answers: "Very true Honey - it is certainly very moving - but his Honor Death d'ye see - don't care a potatoe for man, woman, Child or Brute Beast"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
