_Hen_ —You promise me shoes year after year, year after year, and yet I get no shoes!

_Cock_ —You shall have them, never fear! Henny penny!

_Hen_ —I lay egg after egg, egg after egg, and yet I go about barefoot!

_Cock_ —Well, take your eggs, and be off to the tryst, and buy yourself shoes, and don’t go any longer barefoot!
