/// The Roast Beef of Old England is served,
and the squire then looked up and observed
that this hot, juÃcy meat
had been brought by a sweet,
pretty wench who is pleasingly curved.
/// On the floor sits his fox hunter’s whip,
(like a crop, plus a thin leather strÃp).
When she puts down the dish,
in his tight pąnts he’ll fish.
Soon the serving girl’s getting his tip.
/// From his pocket some coins are produced,
and he plans that she’ll thus be seduced.
Although she brought him beef,
it’s the squire’s firm belief
that he ought to make sure she is goosed.
/// He has just come from hunting the fox,
and this girl has the same auburn locks.
She is foxy indeed,
and this vÃxen agreed
to a tryst (which would give him the pox).
