Extract

      The sparrow's song within the thor
      Our Lord doth welcome, newly born.
      The titmouse twitters tsin-tsin-tsin,
      For mankind redeemed from sin.
      Triumphant is the magpie's cry
      That the fiend of hell must die.
      The lonely owl's oo-oo-oo
      Sings the Saviour's praises too.
      For our simple rhyme and verse,
      A penny each, Sir, from your purse.
      May God your kindness, Sir, repay,
      His Grace hell-fires keep away.
