Hare came as Fox's guest/ Oh how smartly he was dressed - / But staying home would have been best. Hare's wife comes by in tears;/ Wicked Fox - just think my dears/ Ate up her man from shoes to ears.Fox's daughter, sitting sewing,/ Catches Hare's son as he's going.Take care that you don't meet a murderer/ While you're on the road to Kjøge.He takes his hat off: 'Sister mine'/ (Her brother says) 'You did that fine'.Hare went down to the brolly sellers/ To buy the best of all umbrellas/ To guard against Fox and the hunter fellahs.Hare's son puts a resolution/ Before the Law and Constitution/ To bring old Fox to execution.The warrant's signed, the dogs have come/ To send old Fox to Kingdom Come.
