God made bees, and bees made honey, God made man, and man made money, Pride made the devil, and the devil made sin; So God made a cole-pit to put the devil in. - transcribed by, from flysheet of Bible belonging to a pitman residing near Hutton-Henry, in Denham County [Providence] She was not made out of his head, Sir, To rule and to govern the man; Nor was she made out of his feet, Sir, By man to be trampled upon. . . . . But she did come forth from his side, Sir, His equal and partner to be; And now they are coupled together, She oft proves the top of the tree. - collected by Ballads and Songs of the Peasantry of England [Women]
