“With buls of lead, white wax and reid,
And either whiles with green,
Closit in ane box, this usit the fox;
Sic peltrie was never seene.”
As another strange instance of religious fanaticism, Mr. Chappell quotes a love-ditty of about the year 1590, and its absurd conversion into a “Godly song”—
“Go from my window, love go;
Go from my window, my dear;
The wind and the rain,
Will drive you back again;
You cannot be lodged here.
