Three Cows.

Three cows were seized for the tithe rent in the West,

For the parson’s tithe in old Ruthin’s town,

And the Taffies flocked, with a lively zest,

To the farm to see the crummies knocked down

For parsons want tithes, and farmers must pay,

Though crops may fail, and quarter-day,

And bankruptcy they be reaching.

Three bailiffs ran after the cows in the park,

After the cows amid laughter and groan,
