Chapter CLXXXVI: A pen

When I was taken from the fair body,
They then cut off my head,
And thus my shape was altered;
It's I that make peace between king and king,
And many a true lover glad:
All this I do and ten times more,
And more I could do still,
But nothing can I do,
Without my guider's will.

CLXXXVII.

[Snuff.]

As I look'd out o' my chamber window
I heard something fall;
I sent my maid to pick it up,
But she couldn't pick it all.

CLXXXVIII.

[A tobacco-pipe.]

I went into my grandmother's garden,
And there I found a farthing.
I went into my next door neighbour's,
There I bought a pipkin and a popkin--
A slipkin and a slopkin,
A nailboard, a sailboard,
And all for a farthing.
