Worthy friend, ’twill be perdition Books like this to think of printing! Wouldst thou money earn or honour Thou must bend in meek submission. Never in this manner flighty Shouldest thou before the public Thus have spoken of the parsons And of monarchs high and mighty! Friend, thou’lt be by all forsaken! Princes have long arms, the parsons Have long tongues, and then the public Have long ears, or I’m mistaken! |
