 And if he has no corn to grind,

He need not stand taking of toll.

A taylor without any needles,

May sit with his seam in his hand,

And a weaver withou any waf',

Need not take his shuttle in hand.

A woman without e'er a fault,

She like a brisk star will appear ;

But a brewer without any malt,

Will make very pitiful beer.

A man that has but one shirt,

Where’er it is washed from his side,

I hope it can be no great harm,

To ly in his bed till tis dry'd.

A mountebank without his foo',

A skip-kennel turned out of place,

and a tinker without any tools,

They’re all in a pitiful case.

You know that a dish of good meat,

Is the staff and support of man's life,

But he that has nothing to eat,

Needs not for to draw out his knife.
