Not sure if I'm pleased I found this or not
Scanning through the newspaper archive and found this for one of my lot from the Stamford newspaper of 1788
1788 Stamford Mercury Josh Page Goulson by Glen TK2, on Flickr

My sledging hammer lies declined, my bellows too have lost their wind
My fire's extinct, my forge decay'd, and in the dust my vice is laid
My coal is spent, my iron's gone
My nails are drove, my work is done
Lord receive my soul
