His forelegs are crossed in front of him. Behind the deer in the background are visible several peaks of hills or mountains. Above the mountains the lower face of the sun appears in the upper righthand corner. The sun appears to have a mouth. At the edge of the sun rays is a ring of clouds, apparently being pushed back by the sun rays. In the foreground, to the right of the deer lies a small animal, possibly a cat, curled up on the ground. Behind the small animal are three figures: one figure has his hands thrown up in the air as if in supplication, and to his right sit or kneel two other figures. Behind the group is a small object, possibly a box or chest. Above that group is a cliff or mountain top on which are visible tufts of grass. Sitting on top of the hill kneel two figures wearing robes, hands folded as if in prayer, facing towards the sun.: 72 x 78 Woodblock 2: below title, above second and third columns, to left of first woodcut: In a country scene two men are on either side of a pond. On the left side of the pond sits a man on the bank holding a fishing line with his right hand that dangles into the pond. He wears a simple coat or tunic and a cap. To his right is a basket. Across from him, on the opposite bank, stands a man similarly dressed pulling a small tree down towards him in order to attach some kind of trap to it.

WHen glistering Phaebus , had hid his head, And horned Cinthia shined in his stead, A dulnesse that time had possest my braine, Then to a Taverne, I straight tooke my way, Where was good Canary, as I did heare say, To put me into a pleasant vaine: And as I passed, A long in the darke, One in disgrace, Unto my face Slandered the honesty of old Hide Parke . What though your Courtiers appeare here in bravery, Must it be boulster unto their knavery, There's private corners, for them in the Court. Your Ladies of the Court, are they not neat ones, I surely that they be, and very feat ones. Yet come they not hither, to play at loves sport.
They can point places, if it be their minde, More fit then this, To play and kisse: Then judge of Hide Parke . no more then you finde. What though your Ladies all of the Land, Come riding hither forth of the Strand, They come out to take the ayre, and so are gone. I dare not boldly say, that they come here to play, As they passe on they way in garments rich and gay, What harme is this I pray, I can finde none, Each one hath time enough, at her owne home, Nor you know what, Fo hurt in that, They to Hide Parke to doo't neede never come. Truth is, your Merchants wives sometimes come hither, Like loving little Rogues, kindly together: Is't not as fit for them, as tis for many,
Their husbands give them, a spare time for walking. Ships are not sound they know, without good chalking, For in that they doe here, I doe not know any. Let not Hide Parke . be so much scandaliz'd, And made a bawde To womens fraud, You that have done this, be better advis'd. The honest Country Girles, sometimes resort here, Thinke not amisse of them, they make no sport here, They take more pleasure to dance over a greene, Or at a whitson ale, to be woo'd plainely With a true country Lad, no word spoke vainely Though in Hide Parke now and then they'l be seene, Tis nere a whit the more dishonest for them. Therefore Ile still, Say they doe ill, That doe so honest a place so condemne.
