| God speed the Plow, And bless the Corn-Mow. / A Dialogue between / The Husband=man and Serving=man. / The Serving-man the Plow-man would invite, / To leave his Calling, and to take Delight; / But he to that by no means will agree, / Lest he thereby should come to Beggery: / He makes it plain appear, a Country life, / Doth far excell, and so they end the strife. | |
