Riches and roads bring brigands hither Riches and roads bring brigands bold Brigands deck their ears with hoops of silver Brigands diz? their ears with hoops of gold Threshes can make a broom to sweep up threshes Straws can make a broom to sweep up straw Spilt milk makes a pool for drowning fishes Lovers make a virtue of a flaw
Angels above, devils below Flies on honey Dogs on a doe Dogs on a doe
South wind sues the seer with songs of mildness North wind sues the seer with songs of ice Kings can make a war to sue for sugar Queens can make a war to sue for spite
