On The High Price Of Fish Poem by William Cowper
On The High Price Of Fish
Cocoa-nut naught,
Fish too dear,
None must be bought,
For us that are here:
No lobster on earth,
That ever I saw,
To me would be worth
Sixpence a claw.
So dear madam, wait
Till fish can be got
At a reas'nable rate
Whether lobster or not;
Till the French and the Dutch
Have quitted the seas,
And then send as much
And as oft as you please.

'' No lobster on earth, / That ever I saw, / To me would be worth / Sixpence a claw. '' ITALIAN: Non c'è aragosta sulla terra, Degna d'esser vista, Che per me valga Sei pence a chela.
