That, when the rich man should discover

That he had paid some nine-pence over,

He did, without a look of shame,

That pittance as a balance claim:

It may appear full passing strange,

But 'tis a fact, he took the change,

And did the jingling half-pence greet,

Like fish-women in open street.

E'en the worn wardrobe of the Knight,

Which is esteem'd the valet's right,
