Course bread and water's most their fare,Line 1
O Englands diet fine;
Thy cup runs ore with plenteous store
Of wholesome beare and wine.

Yet they're content without;
And what comes in, they part to friends
and strangers round about.
Gods providence is rich to his,Line 3
Let none distrustfull be;
In wildernesse, in great distresse,
These Ravens have fed me.
