THE JOVIAL PRIOR OF ST. BARTHOLOMEW!=

Sons of the fair, to Father Rahêre

Chant a stave in a hollow mew;

Hosier Lane shout back the strain

Through the cloisters of holy Bartholomew.

Saunders, Gyngell, merrily mingle;

Richardson join in the choir:

Two-legg'd dancers, four-legg'd prancers,

You can't cry nay (neigh?) to the Prior.

Now fire away in full chorus!—
