II

A Craver my Father, a Maunder my Mother, [1]

A Filer my Sister, a Filcher my Brother,

A Canter my Uncle, that car'd not for Pelf,

A Lifter my Aunt, and a Beggar myself;

In white wheaten Straw, when their Bellies were full,

Then was I got between a Tinker and a Trull.

And therefore a Beggar, a Beggar I'll be,

For there's none lives a Life more jocund than he
