A text almost identical to that in Marsh's Selection (1854) appeared on p.1 of the (Montpelier) _Vermont Patriot and State Gazette_, Jan. 13, 1834.

Probably the biggest difference I see is that the very last line of the 1834 text is "Better than no house." It also has "knit" for "foot" in stanza 2.
