A S Roger did rise in the morning betimes, with a hey down, down an a down, and riding his Horse to the Plow, Down in a Meadow the good Horson spy'd, Doll milking of the Cow. He Lashed his Horse, and off he leaps, with a hey, etc. and into the Meadow he flies, which started the Cow; poor Doll follow'd after, till she was wet up to the Thighs.
pox take you, (quod Doll ) for frighting my Cow with a hey, etc. don't you know the cold Dew's on the Grass, Tho no stockings I have my smock it is wet, that the Tears run down my Arse. I am sorry (quoth Roger ) that thou dost so weep with a hey, etc. if I have done thee any harm, I'le go naked my self and lend thee my Shirt to keep thy Body warm.
Q Uoth Doll, dost think I thou tell thee a Lye, with a hey, etc. I prethee come hither and see, Doll falls on her nock, & pulls up her Smock, that Roger her Merking might see. Gods-bobs (quoth Roger ) what's that so black, with a hey, etc. that lies between thy Thighs, Oh foolish Hodge, it is a fine to y, i'le not leave it for both thy eyes. Quoth Roger, why valuest it at such a high rate, with a hey, etc. I speak it for no disgrace I've a thin in my Breeches, sweet Doll how it itches that hath a more Comlier face. Then Roger put in a man like face, with a hey, etc. and feels Dolls Belly as soft as silk, Quoth Doll be doing or else i'le be going, for faith I shall spend my Milk:
Be doing of what (quoth foolish Roger ) with a hey, etc. I do not thee understand, Thou Horson fool give hither thy Tool, and i'le put it in with my hand. Then Roger did roundly unto his work fall, with a hey, etc. he heaves he firks he strains, O Doll (quoth he) what tickleth this, and runneth down my Reins. Oh foolish Hodge 'tis Milk (Quoth D oll ) with a hey, etc. 'this pleasant 'tis good 'tis neat, Oh, I had rather stroak a Man, than draw at the Cows Teat. When the sport was done D oll was nimble and brisk with a hey, etc. but Roger that Clownish Fool, Like a great Mome to his Mother wenthome. and swore he had lost his Tool.
