Rhyme Scheme: AABCCCBBB DDBEEEBBB DDBFFFBBB G

The hound was cuffed the hound was kickedA
O' the ears was cropped o' the tail was nickedA
All Oo hoo o howled the houndB
The hound into his kennel creptC
He rarely wept he never sleptC
His mouth he always open keptC
Licking his bitter woundB
The houndB
All U lu lo HOWLED THE HOUNDB
-
A star upon his kennel shoneD
That showed the hound a meat bare boneD
All O hungry was the houndB
The hound had but a churlish witE
He seized the bone he crunched he bitE
An thou wert Master I had slitE
Thy throat with a huge woundB
Quo' houndB
All O angry was the houndB
-
The star in castle window shoneD
The Master lay abed aloneD
All Oh ho why not quo' houndB
He leapt he seized the throat he toreF
The Master head from neck to floorF
And rolled the head i' the kennel doorF
And fled and salved his woundB
Good houndB
All U lu lo HOWLED THE HOUNDB
