On Prince Frederick

Here lies Fred
Who was alive and is dead.
Had it been his father,
I had much rather;
Had it been his brother,
Still better than another;
Had it been his sister,
No one would have missed her;
 Had it been the whole generation,
 So much the better for the nation;
 But since 'tis only Fred
Who was alive and is dead,
 Why, there's no more to be said.
