These be my pistillers
These be my queristers
to helpe me to singe
My hawkes to mattens ring
In this priestly giding
His hawke then flew vpon
The rode with Mary and Ihō
Delt he not lyke a fon
Delt he not lyke a daw
Or elsse is this goddes law
Decrees or Decretals
Or holy sinodals
Or elsse prouincials
Thus within the wals
Of holy church to deale
Thus to ringe a peale
With his hawkes belles
Doutles suche losels
Make the church to be
In smal aucthorite
A curate in speciall
To snapper and to fall
Into this open crime
To loke on this were time
