First sentence: "In the reign before William the conqueror, I have heard in ancient history that there dwelt a man in the parish of the Isle of Ely, in the county of Cambridge, whose name was Thomas Hickathrift, a poor man and a day labourer, yet he was a very stout man, and able to perform two days work instead of one: He having one son, and no more children in the world, he called him by his own name, Thomas Hickathrift."
