Vill du veta skälmska flicka Hur om hösten Vakor fångas? Jag skall vara fågelfängarn, Du skall låtsa vara Vaka. Märk hur fågelfängarn talar: "Flyg ej undan, sköna Vaka, Sitt på klasen trygg och stilla, Snaran gör dig ingen skada, Snaran vill din hals blott smeka." Ha, din skalk, du lät dig fånga; Kyss mej då, så skall du slippa.
