John nipped the dumb, and made him to rore,

And the blind ‘he made to’ [321] see ;

And he that a cripple had been seven years,

He made run then faster than he. {283}

And flinging them all against the wall,

With many a sturdie bang,

It made John sing, to hear the gold ring,

Which again the walls cryed twang.

Then he got out of the beggers cloak,

Three hundred pound in gold,
