John Do-little, Beadle.
To the Tune of The City Ramo [...].
YOU Sots that are joyn'd to a Woman,
Your Implements ready prepare;
In the Name of your Wives here I Summons
You all to appear at Horn Fair.
Fa, la, la, &c.
Be brisk, and still ready-witted,
That you may live Heavenly Lives;
With all things in Order well-fitted,
To make the Way clear for your Wives;
Fa, la, la, &c,
Both Citizens, Bumpkins and Seamen,
This Summons doth come for you all:
And all that are lately made Free-men
Of Cuckolds, or Fumblers-Hall.
Fa, la, la, &c.
You are to appear in great Splendour,
With Pickax and Shovel also;
The Feet of your Wives they are tender,
When unto Horn-Fair they do go.
Fa, la, la, &c.
There's New-fashion'd Horns of all Sizes,
More Gallant than ever before,
To be given to Cuckoldly Nizes,
To hang up at every one's Door.
Fa, la, la, &c.
Four Fumbling Knights are appointed
To see that the Business be done,
Whose Horns are made long, and well-joynted,
And Wives are as right as a Gun.
Fa, la, la, &c.
Besure you shall be Rewarded,
For all your great Labour and Pains,
By an Army of Bullies well guarded,
If you've any Guts in your Brains.
Fa, la, la, &c.
The List will be then called over,
And he that does not appear,
If living between York and Dover,
Shall do double Duty next Year.
Fa, la, la, &c.
