Farewell, farewell, the falsest youth I wish all maids be warn'd by me Never to trust man's curtesye ; For if we do but chance to bow, They'll use us then they care not how- Balow, la-low !

29. The OU

'HIS winter's weather it waxeth cold,

And frost it freezeth on every hill, And Boreas blows his blast so bold

That all our cattle are like to spill. Bell, my wife, she loves no strife;

She said unto me quietlye,

Man, put thine old cloak about thee \

He. O Bell my wife, why dost thou flyte ?

Thou kens my cloak is very thin: It is so bare and over worn,

A cricke thereon cannot renn. Then I'll no longer borrow nor lend ;

For once I'll new apparell'd be; To-morrow I'll to town and spend;

For I'll have a new cloak about me.

She. Cow Crumbock is a very good cow :

She has been always true to the pail; She has helped us to butter and cheese, I trow> And other things she will not fail.
