    Poor Tom, that eats the swimming frog, the toad, the todpole, the
    wall-newt and the water; that in the fury of his heart, when the
    foul fiend rages, eats cow-dung for sallets, swallows the old rat
    and the ditch-dog, drinks the green mantle of the standing pool;
    who is whipped from tithing to tithing, and stock-punished and
    imprisoned; who hath had three suits to his back, six shirts to
    his body,
    Horse to ride, and weapon to wear,
    But mice and rats, and such small deer,
    Have been Tom's food for seven long year.

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that
one teach you again which read more

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that
one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles
of God: and are become such as have need of milk, and not of
strong meat.
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of
righteousness: for he is a babe.
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even
those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern
both good and evil.

With a crust of brown bread and a pot of good ale.
