On a Young Man and an Old Man
A young man and an aged man of late,
Being in a tavern, fell at great debate:
The youth thinking the testy fire to cool
Said, 'Turd i' thy teeth, thou crabbèd doting fool.'
At this the old man laughed, and made reply.
'Turd in his teeth that has teeth, none have I!'
So showed his gums, which made the young man laugh;
They both grew friends, and drank their liquor off.
