Jonathan Swift, " A satyrical elegy on the death of a late Famous General

And could he be indeed so old
As by the newspapers we're told?
The score I think is pretty high;
'Twas time in conscience he should die
This world he cumber'd long enough
He burnt his candle to the snuff
And that's the reason some folks think,
He left behind so great a stink.
