| Sir Raven held a lunch of cheese | B |
| Sir Fox who smelt it in the breeze | B |
| Thus to the holder spoke | A |
| 'Ha how do you do Sir Raven | C |
| Well your coat sir is a brave one | C |
| So black and glossy on my word sir | D |
| With voice to match you were a bird sir | D |
| Well fit to be the Phoenix of these days ' | E |
