TRIPLETS UPON AVARICE
As Miners their own Laws Injoyn
To weare no Pockets in the Mine
For feare they should the Oare Purloyn;
To weare no Pockets in the Mine
For feare they should the Oare Purloyn;
So he that Toyles, and Labours hard
To Gaine, and what he Gets has Spard,
Is from the use of all Debard.
To Gaine, and what he Gets has Spard,
Is from the use of all Debard.
And tho he can Produce more Spankers
Than all the usurers, and Bankers,
Yet after more and More he Hankers.
Than all the usurers, and Bankers,
Yet after more and More he Hankers.
And after all his Paines are don
Has nothing he can call his own
But a meare Livelyhood alone.
Has nothing he can call his own
But a meare Livelyhood alone.
