Instead of grain, 'twill better be to chop,

And take a carrot, or a turnip crop;

You then, my lord, will surely plenty find;

And radishes, if you are so inclined.

THESE carrots, radishes, and turnips too,

Said t'other, I am led to think will do;

My part shall be what 'bove the soil is found:

Thine, fellow, what remains within the ground;

No war with thee I'll have, unless constrained,

And thou hast never yet of me complained.
