With wattles into wattles tied
First in the ground on either side
Did like a shaded arbour show
With seats of Sods, and roof of straw
The floor beneath with rushes laid, stead
of tapestry; no bed or bedstead;
no poots, nor bolts, nor hinges in door
No chimney, kitchen hall or window
But narrow dormants stops with hay
All night and opened in the day
On either side there was a door
Extent from roof unto the floor
Which they like hedgehogs, stopt with straw
Or open as the wind does blow,
And though they reach from top to floor
His grace crept in upon all four
Betwixt the door there was a spot
I'the middle, to hang o'er a pot.
