Wake, froggess! oh, my love, awake, / And listen to my song; / The heron roosts far from the lake, / The pickerel his rest doth take / The water-weeds among. / The sun has put his fire out, / The daylight’s scarcely seen; / No enemy is round about. / Then. froggess, rise and poke your snout, / Above the waters green.
