“In olden times the people used to make tallow candles for their own use...”
In older times the people used to make tallow candles for their own use. They killed a goat and got the grease out of her and put it is a grissit to boil. Then they would get rushes and dip it in the grisset four or five times until it was thick enough. Song
“This world is a difficult riddle, As many people we see, With faces as long as a fiddle That ought to be shining with glee...”
Song
This world is a difficult riddle,
As many people we see,
With faces as long as a fiddle,
that ought to be shining with glee.

But thinks his share is too small.

for where there's a will there's a way
tomorrow the sun may be shining
Although it looks cloudy today
