Said the reeve to the maid who was fresh to the farm
Let me show you the beasts of the yard!
Here's a cow that gives milk, and a pig that's for ham
Here's a cur and a goat and a lamb;
Here's a horse tall and proud and a well-trained old hawk,
But the thing you should see is this excellent cock!
Oh, some cocks rise early and some cocks stand tall,
But he cock now in question works hardest of all!
And they saw hard's a virtue, in a cock's line of work
So what say you, lovely, will you give it a-
