Seven men who carry a burden on their back the sins of their fathers who adequately lack ability to tackle tempting earthly things a heavy load is born and no solace does it bring The first is Lustful Harry who desires sins of the flesh never will he marry or nurture babes in the nest his needs are physical and he knows no other life lustful thoughts and deeds only bringing strife Gluttonous Georgie Porgy eats his way through cakes gorging on sweet meats and plenty of fat he makes drinking and eating all day and through the night much too fat to walk and much too slow to fight The third is Greedy Greta who never has enough she hoards and always wanting more and more stuff never being satisfied, gaining is her only plight possessing many things fills her thoughts every night Lazy Larry likes to live life horizontal lying on the coach or in bed is rudimental his feet elevated never going anywhere idle and slothful never moving from his chair Wrathful Wally stirs up anger in his veins always moody, his happiness is in chains vengeful and hateful is the monster he's become indignation and displeasure means he never sees the sun Envious Enid resentful toward others green are the colours of her lonely bed covers jealous of her neighbours and envious of her brothers her goal in life is ****** as she never quite recovers The last is Proud Priscilla who has enormous self worth dignified and haughty, excessively procured too high and mighty to accept the hand of charity inordinate self esteem amidst much insincerity
