So Selfish Runs the Hare

So selfish runs the hare and so cunning runs the fox,
ho would think that this little calf would grow to a noble ox?
To live among the briars and to run among the thorns,
And die the death that his father did with a large pair of horns.

cho: Horns, large horns
Horns, large horns,
And die the death that his father did with a large pair of horns.

note: a traditional English toast
