_Enter_ Higgen _like a Sow-gelder, singing._
Hig. _Have ye any work for the Sow-gelder, hoa, My horn goes too high too low, too high too low.
Have ye any Piggs, Calves, or Colts, Have ye any Lambs in your holts To cut for the Stone, Here comes a cunning one.
Have ye any braches to spade, Or e're a fair maid That would be a Nun, Come kiss me, 'tis done.
Hark how my merry horn doth blow, Too high too low, too high too low._
