When Dr. Charles O'Donnell died
  They sank a box with him inside.

  The plate with his initials three
  Was simply graven—"C.O.D."

  That night two demons of the Pit
  Adown the coal-hole shunted it.

  Ten million million leagues it fell,
  Alighting at the gate of Hell.

  Nick looked upon it with surprise,
  A night-storm darkening his eyes.

  "They've sent this rubbish, C.O.D.—
  I'll never pay a cent!" said he.
