{{Text|English| One industrious Insect, and the sweetness of th'other, Is the Christian Name of our well-belov'd Brother;
His Surname the Room where the Fire's in the middle, And some say he plays very well on the Fiddle;
The Sign he hangs out is half Flesh, and half Fish, And he sells as true Wine as good Fellows can wish.
