leather (n.)
leather (v.)
leather (adv.)
Their feet through faithless leather met the dirt,
And oftener chang'd their principles than shirt.
Worth makes the man, and want of it the fellow;
The rest is all but leather or prunello.
Some have been beaten till they know
What wood a cudgel's of by th' blow;
Some kick'd until they can feel whether
A shoe be Spanish or neat's leather.
As proper men as ever trod upon neat's leather.
