Adams, Not Family


By a happenstance hard to enhance,

Which I wouldn't have known in advance,

It’s the birthday of Bryan,

And also of Ryan,

Two Adamses caught in one glance!

Thomas Sanders Dupuis (5 November 1733 – 17 July 1796) was a British composer and organist of French extraction. He succeeded William Boyce at the Chapel Royal, and was regarded as one of the best organists of his day. 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Succession

Thomas Sanders Dupuis

Had the talent and luck to be

Chosen for the Chapel Royal,

As organist, august and loyal,

Having been the legal choice

On the death of William Boyce.


Elegiac Envoi


At death, with honors there to grab, he

Found his tomb within the Abbey.

And since he reached these heights, it’s rotten

That his name has been forgotten.
