Allenwood [duchas:4741245]

"Flea flea you are now betrayed
You stole my tender flesh away
My oxter pet and my bosom friend
You days are nearly at an end
You body lies on the council table
And the hammer of death hangs over your n-l (?)
And for all the harm ever you've done
I'll execute you on my thumb"
