And they will make, I ween, besides,

Morocco leather from their hides;

And so contrive that every coffin,

Which serves to lug a dead rogue off in,

Shall answer, if it be not made ill,

For living child, a clever cradle.

And though they say, on man and horse,

The tractors act with equal force;

Still some among us can get through it,

And swear old Satan helps him do it!
