- (continued from previous page)A windmill.
Little Nancy Etticoat, in her white petticoat, the longer she stands, the shorter she grows.
A candle.
Long legs, crooked thighs, big head and no eyes.
A tongs
I have but one eye, and that without sight,
Yet it helps me whatever I do,
I am sharp without wits, without senses I’m bright
The fortune of some, and of some the delight,
And I doubt not I’m useful to you.
A needle.
Never eating, ever cloying,
Never finding full repast,
All devouring, all destroying.
Till it eats the world at last.
