Epitaph on Sally Salisbury - Smith, John Stafford

♪

"This catch gained a Catch Club prize medal in 1773. Sally Salisbury was a renowned prostitute in the first two decades of the eighteenth century; the revealed text adds to the risqué nature of the text."

¶Liedtext

Here, on her back but unactive at last, Poor Sally lies under grim death; Thro' the course of her vices she gallop'd so fast; No wonder she's now out of breath. To the goal of her pleasure she drove very hard, But was tripp'd up e'er half-way she ran. And tho' ev'ryone fancied her life was a yard, Yet it prov'd to be less than a span.
