[A Skin flai'd off, makes my materials]
A Skin flai'd off, makes my materials,My form is various, where my self I loose,
My doom a fellons death and funeralls,
For at a belt I am hang'd by a noose,
I do not filch for mine own thrift and gain
But what you give, I closely keep and bear,
And when you aske, I it restore again,
Yet not, except you pluck me by the eare.
