    The truth I do declare
    Now to tell the truth of Cobbler Ownes.
    He would hang you for a hare.

    Now to conclude and in those lines
    As we are free form all.
    About the fine I do not mind
    'Tis so very small.
    The trifle that they took from me.
    It don't avail a straw/
    I'd rather a hare, I do declare
    I'd kill in Knockshownraw.
