| To this tale he lends his name | A |
| A pair of eagles built their nest | B |

| And he looked down and there he found | H |
| That the eagle it was drowned | H |
| And its wings in part outspread | H |
| But alas it was quite dead | H |

| With grappling hook he drew him out | H |
| But attached to him was monster trout | H |
| Eagle could not extract his claws | J |
| And this the death of both did cause | K |
