The Tinker of Rye |
| A maiden did this tinker meet and to him boldly say |
| Oh sure my kettle hath much need, if you will pass my way. |
| She took the tinker by the hand and led him to her door. |
| Says she, my kettle I will show and you can clout it sure. |
| For patching and plugging is his delight |
| He hammers away both by day and by night. |
| Fair maid says he, your kettle’s cracked, |
| The cause is plainly told. |
| There hath so many nails been drove, |
| That mine own could not take hold |
