That makes us so merry
and plumpe as the lusty Grape.
(Lansdowne MS., No. 777.)
“Noe hoggs are in my grounds” may refer to the Catch (if it be equally old):—
Whose three Hogs are these, and whose three Hoggs are these,
They are John Cook’s, I know by their look, for I found them in my pease.
Oh! pound them: oh pound them! But I dare not, for my life;
For if I should pound John Cook’s Hoggs, I should never kiss John Cook’s wife, &c.
(Catch Club, 1705, iii. 46.)
