193 The commodity of a silly Sheepe.

If leather, flesh, milke compost, dice, or cords,
Or wooll you want; all this a Sheepe affords.

An Egge, which though it be mine owne, I'le adde to this, because it goes to the same tune.

If flesh, or skinne, or bones, feathers, or strings,
Or blood you want; all this one round Egge brings.

To mine Author, a little to be merry with him.

When I did write this, I did thinke vpon
The Egge, sup't vp by thine owne Countryman.
