Will dance with the pretty ladies;
Bands of music sweetly play,
Smart young men and maidens gay,
To Burton’s meadow they will stray,
To talk of the flitch of bacon.
The velocipedes will races run,
The fight with clowns will cause some fun,
And maypole dancing will be done,
To please the folks of Dunmow;
There’s punch and judy, all so gay,
