The Tythe Pig: A parson being prevented carrying off a piglet that has been selected for tithe payment by a farmer\u2019s wife who insists that if the reverend is taking part of her flock then he must take one of her children, who she can presumably no longer afford to feed, as well. “The Tythe Pig In Country Village Lives a Vicar, Fond \u2013 as all are \u2013 of Tythes and Liquor, To mirth his ears are seldom Shut, He\u2019ll Crack a Joke, and laugh at Smut; But when his Tythes he gathers in, On Fish, On Flesh, On Bird, On Beast, Alike lays hold the Churlish Priest Hob\u2019s Wife and Sow \u2013 as Gossips tell Both at a time in Pieces fell; The Parson comes, the Pig he claims And the good Wife with Taunts inflames; Kept back the Pig and held the Child; The Priest look\u2019d gruff, the Wife look\u2019d big, Z\u2026ds, Sir! quoth she, no Child, no Pig”<\/p>\n
