My nets may be unauthorised, and my decoys not his’n;
Vot odds, ven those decoys vill draw, those nets the birds imprison?
“VILLIAM’s a old Monopolist, or vould be if I’d let him;
But on this here pertikler field I’ll lick him, that I’ll bet him.
I am a cove as hates the Nobs; I dearly loves my neighbour;
And if I have a feeling heart it is for Honest Labour!
“VILLIAM’s decoys are out of date but ven I’d shake and rummage’em
He gets his back up like a shot. He’s jealous of Young Brummagem!
I’ll set up on my own account; and I’ve a new half dozen
Of nice decoys vich I am sure the shyest birds vill cozen.
