28842729Then nightly singes the staring Owle

28852730Tu-whit to-who.

28862731A merrie note,

28872732While greasie Ione doth keele the pot.

28882733When all aloude the winde doth blow,

28892734And coffing drownes the Parsons saw;

28902735And Birdes sit brooding in the Snow,

28912736And Marrians nose lookes red and raw:

28922737When roasted Crabbs hisse in the bowle,

28932738Then nightly singes the staring Owle,

28942739Tu-whit to-who.

28952740A merrie note,

28962741While greasie Ione doth keele the pot.

28972742The wordes of Mercurie, are harsh after the

28982743songes of Apollo.
