Spare me, good Mr. Fish,
I didn't molest you.
I'll spare you no longer
Than till I dress you.
To see a cat steal milk from a pan, is no news;
But to see a buck hunting a man, is strange indeed!
Hark forward, huzza,
He can't get away:
And he's not buck enough
To stand at a bay.
To see a cobbler mending a shoe, is no news;
But to see a goat cry old clothes like a jew, is strange indeed!
'Tis alvays my vay,
To cheat ven I can,
Yet for all that I be
A very goot man.
