John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.


NUMBER:	8114
AUTHOR:	Benjamin Franklin King, Jr. (1857–1894)
QUOTATION:	If I should die to-night 1 And you should come in deepest grief and woe— And say:—“Here’s that ten dollars that I owe,” I might arise in my large white cravat And say, “What’s that?”
ATTRIBUTION:	If I should die.

Note 1.
Parody on:
If I should die to-night,
My friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid it in its resting-place,
And deem that death had left it almost fair.
Belle E. Smith. [back]
