Lyrics: Anon
All people now, in your behalf,
Think of the fate of Sir John Calf.
O cruel death, more cunning than a fox,
That would not let this calf live
Til he became an ox.
O that he might have eaten
Both brambles and thorns,
And when he came to his father's years
He might have worn the horns.
All people now, in your behalf,
Think of the fate of Sir John Calf.
O cruel death, more cunning than a fox,
That would not let this calf live
Til he became an ox.
O that he might have eaten
Both brambles and thorns,
And when he came to his father's years
He might have worn the horns.
