I really cannot speak poz,

But he made of his dart a walking stick,

And went forth like a Plague as he was.

First he called on a brewer of high renown,

And begged of him to taste his own swig,

He saw a parson, like many there are,

Much fonder of taking than giving,

So Death for once played the Bishop’s part,
