[Willy prethe goe to bed]

[1]

Willy prethe goe to bed,
for thou wilt haue a drowsie head,
To morrow we must a hunting,
and betimes be stirring,
With a hey trolly loly, loly, loly, &c.
hey ho tro lo lo lo ly ly lo.

2

It is like to be fayre weather,
couple vp all thy hounds together:
Couple Iolly with little Iolly,
couple Trole with old Trolly.
With a hey tro ly lo lo ly,
tro ly lo ly lo.

3

Couple Finch with black Trole,
couple Chaunter with Iumbole:
Let beauty goe at liberty,
for she doth know her duty.
With a hey, &c.

4

Let Merry goe loose it makes no matter,
for Cleanly sometimes she will clatter,
And yet I am sure she will not stray,
but keepe with vs still, all the day.
With a hey, &c.

5

With O masters and wot you where,
this other day I start a Hare?
On what call hill vpon the knole,
and there she started before Trole.
With a hey, &c.

6

And downe she went the common dale,
with all the hounds at her taile:
With yeaffe a yaffe, yeaffe a yaffe,
hey Trol, hey Chaunter, hey Iumbole,
With a hey, &c.

7

See how Chooper chopps it in,
and so doth Gallant now begin:
Looke how Trol begins to tattle,
tarry a while yee shall heare him prattle.
With a hey, &c.

8

For Beauty begins to wag her tayle,
of Cleanlies helpe we shall not faile:
And Chaunter opens very well:
but Merry she doth beare the bell.
With a hey, &c.

9

Goe prick the path, and downe the laune,
she vseth still her old traine:
She is gone to what call wood,
Where we are like to doe no good.
With hey tro ly lo ly lo,
tro ly lo &c.
