Bishop Still (John). 1543-1607

I cannot eat but little meat,

My stomach is not good;

But sure I think that I can drink

With him that wears a hood.

Gammer Gurton's Needle.[22:2] Act ii.

Back and side go bare, go bare,

Both foot and hand go cold;

But, belly, God send thee good ale enough,

Whether it be new or old.

Gammer Gurton's Needle. Act ii.
