A fool and his money are soon parted.
At Christmas play and make good cheer, For Christmas comes but once a year.
For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine, For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine, For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve, For the next matrons or drudges they serve, For the next doth crave a staff for a stay, For the next a bier to fetch them away.
Make hunger thy sauce, as a medicine for health.
