Here ends our first story,
One taile of Kok Robyn:
Let us all stop our sobbin'!
We hope he's in glory.
And now take note: as here-under wrote.
NOTE—1 Robin's name, Kok Robin, which same did
our chief he-cat claim; VI delicet Fan, a she-setter,
a tan. 3 our chore-boy was, Dan. Then Union and
Jack, 4 tabby, 5 black, were our kittens, both born on a
midsummer morn of one mother, loved well by 2 Sister
Nell. 7's a name that was flung at our rooster most
young; and by 8 sure I mean our great Rooster Dean,
of Irish descent. D, Leo, in went denoting a neighbour
as payment for labour in help of our plot. Other notes we need not.
Sir Kok's epitaph
Will be utter'd by Leo, [D]
And his death-song. Laus Deo!
Let no one laugh!
