It's anything but funny!

And no one thought to wake it:
His swollen fortune must be kept,
For no one would dare take it.

Low living and high thinking;
We have foresworn the, cares Of

Corners in grain and corner lots,

We should relieve him, l see that,
And with our blessing bless him.
I'd bear his burden quite away
And ease his sudden sorrow.
