[Sixe things vnto a Trauailer belongs]

Sixe things vnto a Trauailer belongs,
An Asses backe, t'abide and beare all wrongs:
A fishes tongue (mute) grudging speech forbearing.
A Harts quick eare, all dangers ouerhearing,
A dogs eyes, that must wake as they doe sleepe,
And by such watch his corpes from perill keepe.
A swines sweet homely tast that must digest
All Fish, Flesh, Rootes, Fowle, foule and beastly drest;
And last, he must haue euer at his call
A purse well lynde with coyne to pay for all.
