English text

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.
