Martin said to his man Fie man, fie! O Martin said to his man Who's the fool now? Martin said to his man Fill thou the cup and I the can, Thou hasst well drunken, man, Who's the fool now? I see a sheep shearing corn. Fie man, fie! I see a sheep shearing corn. Who's the fool now? I see a sheep shearing corn, And a cuckold blow his horn. Thou hast well drunken, man, Who's the fool now? I see a man in the moon. Fie man, fie! I see a man in the moon. Who's the fool now? I see a man in the moon Clouting of Saint Peter's shoon. Thou hast well drunken, man, Who's the fool now? I see a hare chase a hound. Fie man, fie! I see a hare chase a hound. Who's the fool now? I see a hare chase a hound Twenty mile above the ground. Thou hast well drunken, man, Who's the fool now? I see a goose ring a hog. Fie man, fie! I see a goose ring a hog. Who's the fool now? I see a goose ring a hog, And a snail that did bite a dog. Thou hast well drunken, man, Who's the fool now? I see a mouse catch the cat. Fie man, fie! I see a mouse catch the cat. Who's the fool now? I see a mouse catch the cat And the cheese to eat the rat. Thou hast well drunken, man, Who's the fool now? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE HILL WIFE: THE OFT-REPEATED DREAM by ROBERT FROST THE ROAD TO FRANCE by DANIEL MACINTYRE HENDERSON A CHRISTMAS CAROL by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE MOONLIGHT by MARGUERITE ATTERBURY ECLOGUE ON ELIZABETH BELSHAM by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD NORTHERN LIGHTS by EINAR BENEDIKTSSON NEW YEAR'S VERSES FOR THE CARRIER OF THE MIRROR, 1826 by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD |
