- My conducts abused my name is illused
And I'm falsely accused for writing a poem
On the death of a buck that was killed by ill luck
That Johnny White took to make broth of at home. But as I am clear, I'd be willing to swear
But dont think its fear that makes me deny
It was not I made, I dont know who did it
Although to evade it I'd scorn to lieBy great Alexander, the Grecian commander
By the palefaced Laplander that wades through the snow
By Troilus and Hector, By Dean the Inspector
By Annesley the Rector that comes to Kilcrow.By France and by Spain, By Barnster Mayne
By Roper the Dean that wears the black coat
By big Ellen white thats ay mad with spite
I never did write one verse on the goat.By Sainty and Harry, by Luke and Larry
By all that did marry in this present year
By old Charles Hughes that brings us the news
By the wandering Jews that are spread far and near.(continues on next page)
