HArk the 'Cock crow'd, 'tis Day all abroad, And looks like a jolly fair morning; Up Roger and James, and drive out your Teams, Up quickly to carry the Corn in: Davy the drowzy and Barnaby bowzy, At Breakfast we'll flout and we'll jear boys; Sluggards shall chatter with Small-beer and Water, Whilst you shall tope off the March beer, Boys.

Lasses that Snore for shame give it o'er, Mouth open the Flies will be blowing; To get us stout Hum when Christmas is come, Away where the Barly is Mowing: In your Smock sleeves too, go bind up the Sheaves too, With nimble young Rowland and Harry; Then when work's over, at Night give each Lover, A Hugg and a Buss in the Dairy.

Two for the Mow, and two for the Plow, Is then the next labour comes after; I'm sure I hired four, but if you want more, I'll send you my Wife and my Daughter: Roger the trusty, tell Rachel the lusty, The Barn's a brave place to steal Garters; 'Twixt her and you then, contrive up the Mow then, And take it at Night for your Quarters.
