A Carpenter by trade,

A skilful wheelwright too was he,
And few such waggons made.

No man a tighter barn could build
Throughout his native town:

The best of workmen known.

His father left him what he had,
In sooth it was enough;
His shining pewter, pots of brass,
And all his household stuff.

A little cottage too he had,
For ease and comfort plann'd;

An acre of good land.

A pleasant orchard too there was
Before his cottage door;

Of cider and of corn likewise
He had a little store.
