    The wren, the wren, ¶ The king of all birds, ¶ On St. Stephen's Day ¶ He was caught in the furze

    The wran, the wran,
    The King of all birds,
    On St. Stephen's Day
    He was caught in the furze,
    Although he is little
    His family is great
    Up with the kettle
    And down with the pan
    A penny or two pence
    To bury the "wran"

    Mrs. _ I came to see you, ¶ With my wren that's poor and feeble

    Mrs. _ I came to see you,
    With my wren that's poor and feeble.
    'Pon my word I'm ashamed to've you see him
    And I hope your honour will relieve him.
