VV And Apples do grow,
Where Corn is sown,
And Grass is mown ;
Where Pigeons do fly,
And Rooks Nestle high ;
Fae give me for Life a Place :
She Where Hay is well Cock'd,
And Udders are Strok'd !
Where Duck and Drake,
Cry quack, quack, quack ;
Where Turkeys lay eggs,
And Sows suckle Pigs,
Oh ! there I would pass my Days.
He On nought we will feed,
She But what we do breed ;
And wear on our backs,
He The wool of our flocks
