About [may starve for hunter]

A baker’s wife may bite of a bun,
A brewer’s wife may drink of a tun,
A fishmonger’s wife may feed of a conger,
But a servingman’s wife may starve for hunter.

Hi,

What does it mean that [may starve for hunter]?

Thank you for your assistance.

I think it's a mistake. Hunger rhymes with " conger " and it makes sense.
