Song 6. O'r Boggy.
The dog his Bit will often Quit
a Bulle to eschewe
The cock his corn will leave in Barn
annother cock in view
one man will eat annothers meat
and no contention seen
for all agree 'tis good to be
tho' hungry in a whole skin
a Bulle to eschewe
The cock his corn will leave in Barn
annother cock in view
one man will eat annothers meat
and no contention seen
for all agree 'tis good to be
tho' hungry in a whole skin
But should each spy his mistress by
one contradict his suit
he Quits al fears & by the Ears
they fall together to't
Such Hinderers shocks mend Dogs & Cocks
and makes the gentle froward
He who wont fight for Mistress bright
in something worse than coward
one contradict his suit
he Quits al fears & by the Ears
they fall together to't
Such Hinderers shocks mend Dogs & Cocks
and makes the gentle froward
He who wont fight for Mistress bright
in something worse than coward
