His hawkes they flie so eagerly There is no fowle dare him come nigh Down there comes a fallow doe As great with yong as she might goe. She lifted up his bloudy head And kist the wounds that were so red She got him up upon her backe And carried him to earthen lake. She buried him before the prime She was dead herself ere evensong time God send to ev’ry gentle man Such hawkes, such hounds and such a Leman.
