MORRIS DANCERS AT REVESBY.

Landlord.

What care I for thee? Is not another as good as thee
That will pay me my Rents twice a year?

Tennant.

Kind Sir, I do think fit, that to you I should submit,
And you shall have the upper hand.

Landlord.

Well said, if you can do it, I will never turn you out,
You shall rent some part of my Land.

Tennant.

I like a loving Landlord, and him I mean to pay.

Landlord.

I like a loving Tennant, sometime of him I'll stay.
This is to let you know, you Tennants must obey,
And pay Landlords their Rents twice a year.
