But the sooner they’re done with the better ’tis said,
Or good-bye to the Church and its teaching.
Three Fishers.
Three fishers went fishing out into the sea
With bottles well filled with the regular bait:
They burned in the sun and told stories with glee
And caught one sea-robin, a crab and a skate;
But, as they were told, on the previous day,
More fishes were caught than were carried away,
