- (continued from previous page)Through an old sheep [?] bone (A moth)
As white as milk and milk (and) (milk) it is not
As green as grass and grass it is not
As red as blood and blood it is not
As black as ink and ink it is not (A blackberry)
Two brothers we are, great burdens we be,
We are so slowly pressed that we're full all the day,
And empty when we go to rest. (your who shoes)
