He I have lost my melch Cow.

Ha Nether can I my pritty sheepe.
He And I have lost fowre dozen of Eggs
Pr My Pigs are gone, & all their Heads
Ry Come let us wishe for Health
Ha For wee can have noe wealth
He Now I will hope for Joy
Pr And in meane tyme let's bee a Toy
Ry Since that wee have noe plenty
Ha And our Purses, they are empty
He Since that wee have noe plenty
Pr. And our Purses they are empty.
