This is the Cock
Who crows, if you’re wise,
To tell you from bed
’Tis time for to rise.
The next was a Hen and Chickens—See, there is one on her Back.
This is the Hen
Who cares for her young,
And cackles to please them
Instead of a song.
The next was a very fine Newfoundland Dog.
This is the Dog,
Who whilst we’re asleep,
Is a guard to the house,
And from thieves does it keep.
