 A man that has got but one leg.

Will make but a pitiful runner;

And he that has never an eye,

Will make but a sorrowful gunner.

A docter without e'er a stoa als,

Will make but a pitiful dinner;

And he that has got no victuals,

Will quickly look thinner and thinner.

A bell that's without e’er a clipper,

Will make but a sorrowful sound;

And he that cannot get some land,

May work in another man’s ground

A smith without a pair of bellows,

He need not rise very soon;

And he that has got no clothes,

May ly in his bed til it's noon.

An ale-house without any custom,

Will never get great store of wealth;

And if he has ne’er got a sign,

He may go and hang up himself.

A miller that is without stones,

Can be but a sorrowful soul,
