God speed the plow, and bless the corn-mow. A dialogue between the husband-man and serving-man. The serving-man the plow-man would invite, to leave his calling, and to take delight, but he to that by no means will agree, lest he thereby should come to beggery: he makes it plain appear, a country life, doth far excell, and so they end the strife. The tune is, I am the Duke of Norfolk
