BEGGAR TO BEGGAR CRIED
 
 "TIME to put off the world and go somewhere
 And find my health again in the sea air,'
 Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
 "And make my soul before my pate is bare.-
 "And get a comfortable wife and house
 To rid me of the devil in my shoes,'
 Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
 "And the worse devil that is between my thighs.'
 And though I'd marry with a comely lass,
 She need not be too comely – let it pass,'
 Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
 "But there's a devil in a looking-glass.'
 "Nor should she be too rich, because the rich
 Are driven by wealth as beggars by the itch,'
 Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
 "And cannot have a humorous happy speech.'
 "And there I'll grow respected at my ease,
 And hear amid the garden's nightly peace.'
 Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
 "The wind-blown clamour of the barnacle-geese.'
