Table of Contents

Let the mighty and great

Roll in splendor and state!

I envy them not, I declare it.

I eat my own lamb,

My own chicken and ham,

I shear my own sheep and I wear it.

I have lawns, I have bowers,

I have fruits, I have flowers.

My lark is my morning's charmer;

So you jolly dogs now

Here's God bless the plow—

Long life and content to the farmer.

Inscription on an old English pitcher.
