    If I asked her master he’d give me a cask a day;
    But she, with the beer at hand, not a gill would arrange!

    The High King of Glory permit her to get the mange.

    For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast
    crowned him with glory and honor.
    Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
