    Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.

    ‘Lay me a green sod under my head,
    And another at my feet;
    And lay my bent bow at my side,

    And make my grave of gravel and green,
    Which is most right and meet.
