Subject(s): Animals;birds;singing & Singers;wings


OF all the brave birds that ere I did see,
The owl is the fairest in her degree;
For all the day long she sits in a tree,
And when the night cometh, away flies she,
To-whit-to-whoo!
To whom drinkest thou?
Sir Knave, to you.
This song is well sung, I'll make you a vow,
And he is a knave that drinketh now.
Nose, nose, nose; and who gave thee that jolly red nose?
Nutmegs and cloves; and who gave thee that jolly red nose?
