Work fellow, work; make haste, the ground.html">ground prepare;
Don't think.html">think that I will ever lend a hand,
I've told thee I'm a gentleman by birth,
Howe'er I'll now the diff'rent parts allot,
What shall above the heritage arise,
But what is in the soil shall be my share;
And then the stubble by the roots was heaped,
Who thought the seed and root were just the same,
Which nothing.html">nothing made if carried to the marts:
The other to the market.html">market brought his ware,
'Twas nothing worth, which much his bosom grieved.
QUITE mortified, the devil quickly went;
The fellow had discreetly sold the corn,
Which he, with ev'ry wily care, concealed;
Said he, thou.html">thou.html">thou rascal?--pretty tricks thou'st played;
But I'm a noble devil of the court,
What grain.html">grain dost mean to sow th' ensuing year?
Instead of grain, 'twill better be to chop,
You then, my lord, will surely plenty find;
Said t'other, I am led to think will do;
Thine, fellow, what remains within the ground;
And thou hast never yet of me complained.
For I'm disposed to have a little fun.
THE time arrived again to house the store;
Leaves solely to his lordship were assigned,
But through the market ridicule was heard,
Pray, Mister Devil, where d'ye grow these greens?
And, on the clown, proposed to make attack,
And tasting pleasantly the sweets of life.
