craft of bold Al - len - a - Dale.
The Baron of Ravensworth prances in pride,
And he views his domains upon Arkindale ride,
The mere for his net, and the land for his game,
The chace for wild, and the park for tame
Yet the fish of the lake, and the deer of the vale
Are less free to Lord Dacre than Allen-a-Dale.
