- (continued from previous page)hard.
Butter, bacon, beef, or lard,
Timber, iron, steel, or brass,
Metal, marble, delph or glass.
The nature of the goods will ne'er.
Excuse the man that acts unfair,
Its restitution must efface,
The wrong's that are done in war or peace.
Perhaps you'll style me as a fool.
To say so much about the cool.
But let it be mislaid or lost,
Send me one shilling what it cost.
I say in these concluding lines.
Send me the vessel or the coin.
