    Oh the brave Fisher's life,
    It is the best of any,
    'Tis full of pleasure, void of strife,
    And 'tis belov'd of many:
    Other joys Are but toys;
    Only this Lawful is,
    For our skill Breeds no ill,
    But content and pleasure.

And the children stood watching them out of the town.
