Psalms126:5
They that sow in tears, etc. I saw in seedtime a husbandman at plough in a very rainy day. Asking him the reason why he would not rather leave off than labour in such foul weather, his answer was returned me in their country rhythm: —
"Sow beans in the mud,
And they'll come up like a wood."
This could not but remind me of David's expression, "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy", etc. —Thomas Fuller (1608-1661), in "Good Thoughts in Worse Times."
