| 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] |
