Yet had more work than labourers.
Some with vast flocks, and little pains,
Jump’d into business of great gains; 40
And some were damn’d to scythes and spades,
And all those hard laborious trades;
Where willing wretches daily sweat,
And wear out strength and limbs to eat:
While others follow’d mysteries, 45
To which few folks binds ’prentices;
That want no stock, but that of brass,
