In his A New Booke of Mistakes (1637), Robert Chamberlain gives a humorous epitaph:

Of one Parkins a boone Companion in Essex who dyed of the rising of the Lights.

Poore Parkins, now percust here lies,
Light hearted, till his Lights did rise.
Lights of the Body, are the Bellowes,
And hee, one of the best good fellowes
That Essex yeelded, (all we do know)
And breath'd, till they did cease to blow.[

Thumbs Up Nice one MYG

"Kil'd by several accidents " that one tickled me. I can just imagine someone falling off a ladder only to get up and be run over by a coach and horses.
