Of all the birds that ever I see, | |||
the Owl is the fairest in her degree, | |||
For all the day long she sits in a tree, | |||
and when the night comes, away flies she, | |||
Te whit, te who, to whom drinks thou? | |||
Sir knave to thou, | |||
This song is well sung, I make you a vow, | |||
and he is a knave that drinketh now. | |||
Nose, nose, nose, | |||
and who gave mee that jolly red nose? | |||
Cinamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, and cloves, | |||
and that gave thee thy jolly red nose. | |||

Of all the birds that ever I see,
the Owl is the fairest in her degree,
For all the day long she sits in a tree,
and when the night comes, away flies she,
Te whit, te who, to whom drinks thou?
Sir knave to thou,
This song is well sung, I make you a vow,
and he is a knave that drinketh now.
Nose, nose, nose,
and who gave mee that jolly red nose?
Cinamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, and cloves,
and that gave thee thy jolly red nose.
