When silver snow decks Susan's clothes	A
And jewel hangs at th' shepherd's nose	B
The blushing bank is all my care	C
With hearth so red and walls so fair	C
Heap the sea coal come heap it higher	D
The oaken log lay on the fire '	E
The well wash'd stools a circling row	F
With lad and lass how fair the show	F
The merry can of nut brown ale	G
The laughing jest the love sick tale	G
Till tir'd of chat the game begins	H
The lasses prick the lads with pins	H
Roger from Dolly twitch'd the stool	I
She falling kiss'd the ground poor fool	I
She blush'd so red with sidelong glance	J
At hob nail Dick who griev'd the chance	J
But now for Blind man's Buff they call	K
Of each encumbrance clear the hall	K
Jenny her silken 'kerchief folds	L
And blear eyed Will the black lot holds	L
Now laughing stops with Silence hush '	E
And Peggy Pout gives Sam a push	M
The Blind man's arms extended wide	N
Sam slips between O woe betide	N
Thee clumsy Will ' but titt'ring Kate	O
Is penn'd up in the corner straight	O
And now Will's eyes beheld the play	P
He thought his face was t'other way	P
Now Kitty now what chance hast thou	Q
Roger so near thee Trips I vow '	E
She catches him then Roger ties	R
His own head up but not his eyes	R
For thro' the slender cloth he sees	S
And runs at Sam who slips with ease	S
His clumsy hold and dodging round	T
Sukey is tumbled on the ground	T
See what it is to play unfair	C
Where cheating is there's mischief there '	E
But Roger still pursues the chase	U
He sees he sees ' cries softly Grace	U
O Roger thou unskill'd in art	V
Must surer bound go thro' thy part '	E
Now Kitty pert repeats the rimes	W
And Roger turns him round three times	W
Then pauses ere he starts but Dick	X
Was mischief bent upon a trick	X
Down on his hands and knees he lay	P
Directly in the Blind man's way	P
Then cries out Hem ' Hodge heard and ran	Y
With hood wink'd chance sure of his man	Y
But down he came Alas how frail	G
Our best of hopes how soon they fail	G
With crimson drops he stains the ground	T
Confusion startles all around	T
Poor piteous Dick supports his head	Z
And fain would cure the hurt he made	A2
But Kitty hasted with a key	B2
And down his back they straight convey	P
The cold relief the blood is stay'd	A2
And Hodge again holds up his head	Z
Such are the fortunes of the game	C2
And those who play should stop the same	C2
By wholesome laws such as all those	B
Who on the blinded man impose	B
Stand in his stead as long a gone	D2
When men were first a nation grown	E2
Lawless they liv'd till wantonness	B
A nd liberty began t' increase	B
And one man lay in another's way	P
Then laws were made to keep fair play	P
