A Certain Dutiful Son’s Lamentation for the Death of a Certain Right Reverend is a satirical poem written in Hudibrastic verse, likely dating to the 17th or early 18th century. The poem lampoons a son’s over-the-top grief upon inheriting money and goods from a deceased clergyman. The son’s lamentation quickly turns to calculating how quickly he can dispose of his newfound wealth. This work provides insight into period attitudes toward religion, inheritance, and social satire.
