3rd Wrenboy: They that can use food when they
ask it, and not have to wait till they can find it,
or steal it, or get it what way they can.
3rd Wrenboy: And not to be waiting till you'll
hear a rabbit squealing, with the teeth of a weasel
in his neck.
4th Wrenboy: And the weasel when you take
it to be spitting poison at you, the same as a serpent.
5th Wrenboy: It would be a nice thing to be
eating sweet red apples in place of the green crabs.
1st Wrenboy: Or to be maybe sucking marrow-bones.
2nd Wrenboy: It is likely they are as airy and
as careless as the blackbird singing on the bush.
3rd Wrenboy: It's likely they go following after
foxes on horses, having huntsmen and beagles at
their feet.
4th Wrenboy: Or go out sporting and fowling
with their greyhound and with their gun.
5th Wrenboy: Or matching fighting cocks.
1st Wrenboy: It's likely they lead a gentleman's
life, card-playing and eating and drinking, and
racing with jockeys in speckled clothes.
