The Haymaker's Song.
[I]
The morning doth wast,To the Medowes lets hast,
For the Sun doth with glory shine on them;
The Maidens must Rake
Whilest the Haycocks we make,
Then merrily tumble upon them.
II
The envy of CourtNe'r aims at our sport,
For we live both honest and meanly;
Their Ladies are Fine,
But to Venus encline,
And our Lasses are harmless and clenly.
III
Then let us advanceOur selves in a dance,
And afterwards fall to our labour;
No measure so meet
Nor Musick so sweet,
To us as a Pipe and a Tabor.
