A Hawkes-vp, for a Hunts vp.

Awake, awake,
The day doth break,
Our Spanyels couple them:
Our Hawkes shall flye lowe,
Meane, or high, and trusse it,
And trusse it if they can,
Hey troly lolly ly lo ly ly lo,
Hey troly ly hey
And trusse it, and trusse it,
And trusse it if they can, you can,
And trusse it if they can.
Then rise, arise,
for Phœbus dies
(in golde) the dawne of day,
And Coveyes lye,
in Feilds hard by,
then Sing we care away.

Chor:

Hey trolly, lolly, then sing wee care away.
