BLIND MAN.

He that got good gold

For calves he never sold

Must put good money down

With a laugh, without a frown;

Or I'll destroy that man

With a bone-breaking rann.

I'll rhyme him by the book

To a blue-watery look.

MISER. Oh, Raftery, don't do that. I tasted enough of your

ranns just now, and I don't want another taste of them. There's

threepence for you. (_He puts three pennies in the plate._)
