Jean De La Fontaine
1621 - 1695 / Champagne / France
Epitaph Of La Fontaine Made By Himself
LIKE THIS POEM
JOHN, as he came, so went away,
Consuming capital and pay,
Holding superfluous riches cheap;
The trick of spending time he knew,
Dividing it in portions two,
For idling one, and one for sleep.
