TOMBSTONE TUESDAY: Written on the tombstone of a miser

Epitaphs in cemeteries are sometimes funny like this one obviously written on the tombstone of a miser

His heirs, that he might safely rest,
Have put his carcass in a chest,
The very chest in which, they say,
His other self his money lay.
And if his heirs continue kind
To that dear self he left behind,
I dare believe that four in five
Will think his better half alive.
