When they think on’t won’t they sprout,

Like a peach that’s got the “yellows”

With the meanness “bustin” out.

Tell you just the end I’ve come to

After ciphering pretty smart,—

And it makes a handy sum too,

Any “gump” may learn by heart.

Labouring man and labouring woman

Have one glory and one shame,

Every thing that’s done inhuman
