So eat your ell. but have a care
Unto your health and choose your fare,
Lest sickness seize you unaware
And pains annoy.
And aches and troubles be your share
Instead Of Joy.
And keep away from painted things
With cunning holes and hidden springs
For such disaster surely brings
To curious nice:
So that or Christmas leave no sings.
