His effigy reads: “Such as thou art, sometimes was I, Such as I am, such thou shalt be, I thought little on hour of death, So long as I enjoyed breath, On earth I had great riches, Land, houses, great treasure, Horses money and gold, But now a wretched captive am I, Deep in the ground, lo I lie, My beauty great, is all quite gone, My flesh is wasted to the bone.”

“Es una mierda que las tías te cojan cariño pero sólo en plan amigo. Me pasa constantemente: me veo metido en el papel del tío majo con el que no quieren follar. Me encantaría hacer de hijo de puta al que matan a polvos”
