With that the Pack-man hurled through the Closter,
And there he met with an ill-favoured Foster ;
Who quickly twined him, and all on his Back ;
And then he learn'd to pray, shame fall the Pack ;
For if they have not freed me of my sin,
They sent me lighter out than I came in.
And still he cry'd, Shame fall both Monks and Fryers,
For I have lost my Pack, and learn'd no Prayers.
So Farewel Ave, Creed, and Pater noster ;
I'le pray in my mother tongue, and quit the Closter.
