  1. A Local Song (continued)

    The fox walked out one moonlight night.

    (continued from previous page)
    But the youngest of them said "Daddy go again" for that was a lucky little town-o".
    "Bedad" said Reynard "that could not be,
    for that old woman she spied me.
    And she said she would kill her husband if he did not kill me.
    If I ever went again to the town-o".
