| The screech owl and the whistler shrill | A |
| Call upon our dame aloud | B |
| And bid her quickly don her shroud | B |
| Much you had of land and rent | C |
| Your length in clay's now competent | D |
| A long war disturbed your mind | E |

| A crucifix let bless your neck | I |
| 'Tis now full tide 'tween night and day | J |
| End your groan and come away | J |
