pitiful cries they made to us to help them, when,

Why, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the
little ones: I can compare our rich misers to
nothing so fitly as to a whale; a' plays and

have I heard on o' the land, who never leave gaping
till they've swallowed the whole parish, church,
steeple, bells, and all.

from all parts of the world to just and tourney for her love.

O, sir, things must be as they may; and what a man
