YE HAPPY FARMERS. LIFE.

OF al the Lives 1 wot of
Ye farmers is most Blest.
He tills We Soil with sturdy Toll
And wastes no Tyne in Rest.
He rises in We Morning
When half-past Two has struck,
AT Tenne he hittes we Bedde again,
If yet he has good Luck.
He journeys to we Stable
And milks two dozen kline.
At half-past Four he hungers sore,
And for we Food does Pine.
OF fried Pork Chops and Coffee
He gladly does partake.
And to complete we Meal does eat
Ye luscious BuckWheat cake.
He rises from We Table
And Follows forth we Plow,
But leaves his Place full soon to chase
Back home We straying Cove.
Returning to We Meadow
He labors hard till noon,
And then does MUNICH a Bite Of
Lunch,
Which he dispatches soon.
All day he Gayly labors
In the Field and Stable-Yar6.
Nor weary grows as on he goes.
Nor finds his Work is hard.
He beds down all We Cattle,
When roosts We tired Lark,
A sickly Glim he takes with him
To light him after dark.
From one Year to another
He Harvest sows and reaps,
He lives and thinks and works and
drinks,
And also eats and sleeps.
What work he has not Tyne for
Is managed by his WYE
All must concede it's good to lead
Ye happye Farmers life.
