The _Cuckow_ tells a merry tale, / Upon the hill and in the vale.
There's the pretty _Cuckow_! This good-natured bird comes a long / journey once every year to see all his friends, and sing them a song. / And after he has obliged them with his company about three months, he / takes his leave, and returns to his own country again.
