Father Abney's Will

2. My tub of soap,
A long cart rope,
A frying pan and kettle,
An ashes pail,
A threshing flail,
An iron wedge and beetle.

3. Two painted chairs,
Nine warden pairs,
A large old dripping platter,
The bed of hey,
On which I lay,
An old sauce pan for butter.

4. A little mugg,
A two quart jugg,
S bottle full of brandy,
A looking glass,
To see your face,
You'll find it very handy.

5. A musket true,
As ever blew,
A pound of shot and wallet,
A leather sash,
My calabash,
My powder horn and bullet.

6. An old sword blade,
A garden spade,
A hoe, a rake, a ladder,
Q wooden cann,
A close stool pan,
A clyster pipe and bladder.

7. A greizy hatt,
My old ram cat,
A yard and half of linnen,
A pot of greese,
A wollen fleece,
In order for your spinning.

9. A ragged mat,
A tub of fat,
A book put out by Bunyan,
Another book,
By Robin Rook,
A skain or two of spunyarn.

10. An old black muff,
Some garden stuff,
A quantity of burrage,
Some devil's weed,
And burdock seed,
To season well your porridge.

11. A chafing dish,
With one salt fish,
If I am not mistaken,
A leg of pork,
A broken fork,
And half a flitch of bacon.

12. A spinning wheel,
One peck of meal,
A knife without a handle,
A rusty lamp,
Two quarts of samp,
And half a tallow candle.

13. My pouch and pipes
Two oxen tripes,
An oaken dish well carved,
My little dog,
And spotted hog,
With two young pigs just starved.

14. This is my store,
I have no more,
I heartily do give it,
My years are spun,
My Days are done
And so I think I leave it.
