Next I will tell you of a poore mans tricke,

Which he did practise with a polliticke,

This poore man had a Cow twas all his stocke,

Which on the Commons fed: where Catell flocke,

The other had a steere a wanton Beast,

Which he did turne to feede amongst the rest.

Which in processe although I know not how,

The rich mans Oxe did gore the poore mans Cow.

The poore man heereat vexed waxed sad,

For it is all the living that he had,
