John asked his landlady, thinking no ill,
where he might best set up a water mill,
the wanton lady seeing John all alone,
returned this answer to her tenant John,
“Would’st thou all other thy mill should disgrace?
then ’twixt my legs will be the fittest place,
for I at time of need can from behind,
when water fails before supplied with wind.”
