XXI. JACOB'S SONG.
“Said young Nell to her husband old,While on stout Jem she smil'd;
“Thy back and belly both are cold,
And time hath thee beguil'd;
And Joe, when back won't warm the bed,
Nor belly warm the broth,
Is't not high time that grace were said?
Alack, alack for both!”
| Peter Faultless to his brother Simon | |
