Text Appearing Before Image:
d pull IAnd lay them naked all to view. Twixt sleepe and wake,I do them take,And on the key-cold floor them throw. If out they cry, then forth I fly,And loudly laugh out, ho, ho, ho! When any need to borrowe aught, We lend them what they do require ;And for the use demand we nought:Our owne is all we do desire.If to repay,They do delay,Abroad amongst them then I go, And night by night, I them affrightWith pinchings, dreames, and ho, ho, ho! When lazie queans have nought to do, But study how to cog and lye ;To make debate and mischief too,Twixt one another secretlye :I marke their gloze,And it disclose,To them whom they have wronged so ; When I have done, I get me gone,And leave them scolding, ho, ho, ho! When men do traps and engins set In loope holes were the vermine creepe,Who from their foldes and houses, get Their duckes and geese, and lambes and sheepe :I spy the gin,And enter in,And seeme a vermine taken so ; But when they there approach me neare,I leap out laughing, ho, ho, ho!
Text Appearing After Image:
By wells and rills, in meadowes greene, We nightly dance our hey-day guise ;And to our fairye king and queene We chant our moon-light minstrelsies.When larks gin sing,Away we fling,And babes new borne steale as we go, And elfe in bed we leave instead,And wend us laughing, ho, ho, ho! From hag-bred Merlins time have IThus nightly revelled to and fro ;And for my pranks men call me byThe name of Robin Good-fellow.Fiends, ghosts, and sprites,Who haunt the nights,The hags and goblins do me know ; And beldames old my feates have told ;So Vale, Vale; ho, ho, ho !
