The Song
We have great gain, with little pain,
And lightly spend it too:
We do not toil, nor yet we moil,
As other poor folks do.
We are winners all three,
And so will we be,
Wherever that we come a:
For we know how,
To bend and bow,
And what is to be done a.
To kneel and crouch, to fill the pouch,
We are full glad and fain:
We ever still, even at our will,
Are getters of great gain.
We are winners etc.
It is our will, to poll and pill,
All such as do us trust:
We bear in hand, good friends to stand,
Though we be most unjust.
We be winners etc.
Full far abouts, we know the routes
Of them that riches had:
Whom through deceit, as fish to bait,
We made their thrift forth gad.
We are winners etc.

And what is to be done a.

We made their thrift forth gad.
We are winners etc.
