[Hey the horne, the horna]

Hey the horne, the horna
to Vulcan doth belong,
And Venus, for she gaue it,
is Mistrisse of my song,
If Vulcan should not haue it,
then Vulcan should haue wrong.
The horne, the horne, the horna,
The horne, the horne the horna.

If Vulcan haue the horna,
then Venus is to blame:
And Mars that did entice her,
vnto that wanton game.
Yet Vulcan needs must keepe it,
to set all well in frame:
The horne, the horne, the horna.
The horne, the horne, the horna.
