“Of other care they little reckoning make, Than how to scramble at the shearers feast, And shove away the worthy bidden guest; Blind mouths! that scarce themselves know how to hold A sheep-hook, or have learn’d aught else the least That to the faithful herdman’s art belongs! What recks it them? what need they? they are sped; And when they lift their lean and flashy songs, Grate on their scrannel pipes of wretched straw; The hungry sheep look up, but are not fed, But swol’n with wind, and the rank mist they draw, Rot inwardly and foul contagion spread; But that two handed engine at the door, Stands ready to smite once, and smite no more.” FINIS.
