"Described in Deuteromelia as a freemen's song, it was revived and included by Thos. Warren in his 17th collection of catches, canons and glees, pub. 1769 (attributed to Nicholas Freeman, 1667!). The piece was used as a glee in several theatrical productions of the late eighteenth century, which probably explains its appearance in a regimental sing-song on the eve of the Battle of El Hammad (Egypt, 1807)."

¶Liedtext

Of all the birds that ever I see, the Owl is the fairest in her degree, For all the day long she sits in a tree, and when the night comes, away flies she, Te whit, te who, to whom drinks thou? Sir knave to thou, This song is well sung, I make you a vow, and he is a knave that drinketh now. Nose, nose, nose, and who gave mee that jolly red nose? Cinamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, and cloves, and that gave thee thy jolly red nose.
