ROUND bean cakes with red spots bright,

The blind who eat them receive their sight;

They cure the deaf and heal the lame,

And preserve the teeth of the aged dame.

The bald who eat them grow a cue,

And the priest can read his bible through,

They help the Taoist a seat to take.

Their virtues are many—buy my cake.

The man who eats fears not his wife,

And the woman works better all her life.
