| The Huntsmans Delight. / Or, The Forresters Pleasure. / The Dear are wounded but they are not slain / Yet so they're wounded that they are or'etain / And in their taking pitty it is shown / For why 'twas thought that some there was with Fawn. / The Keepers swore great Oaths upon their lives / They'd be as king to them as men are to their Wives / The pleasant sport this Ditty doth declare / Of the kind Huntsmen and the Fallow Dear | |
