Oh! the Archers of Frogshot assemble to-day,

And the fame of their doings has spread a great way;

In lacings and facings they're beaten by no men,

They've plenty of Beaux there, but very few Bow-men.

There are Misses to hit, who no longer will tarry,

And many Maid Mari-ans willing to marry;

There's a Robin Hood fierce with nobody to fear him,

And Tell shoots the apple of eyes that come near him;

There are Foresters, famous for eating a dinner,

And prizes, all sizes, but wanting a winner,

And Dames in a pet if they get their pet-dog shot;

And these are the deeds of the Archers of Frogshot.
