Who goes for many gets but very few;
Who travels zigzag makes full many a cross,
And rolling stones ne’er gather any moss;
The explanation of which word is funny:
In common Yiddish Hebrew, moss means money,
And stones are men—take Peter for a sample—
Excuse me, friends, I know of an example
Of a loose fish who changed about so long
He first became a byword, then a song,
Which I will sing you though it is distressin’,
