Come, gentlemen, attend to my ditty,

All you that delight in a gun;

And, if you’ll be silent a minute,

I’ll tell you a rare piece of fun.

Fal lal, &c.

It was on the tenth of November,

Or else upon Martinmas-day,

A gentleman,[70] who lov’d pastime,

Got a hare-skin well stuff’d with hay.

Then into the field he convey’d her,
