My life was filled<br>With scandals that re-crossed my path, <br>And Caroline was most unkind<br>When she composed my epitaph.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">She wrote the words you know me by<br>Once I had sought to let her go, <br>She sat in silence, scrawled the words, <br>'Mad, bad, and dangerous to know!
