He rang’d through like a greedy thief,

Took butter, cheese, mutton, and beef;

The puddings he did scarcely spare,

For every thing away he bear.

Of cloth and clothes silver and gold,

He took far more than can be told:

The blackest sight that country saw,

Worse than Pate Barley or John Faw.

All his zeal was mixt with self,

He very greedy was of pelf.
