Soon after his Lordship is caught out by a Templar (Mr. Davis), as He is in like manner by a Surry 'Squire (Mr. Lewis); and the players on both sides, and the notches gained, are enumerated in the same manner as the heroes and the numbers killed in the old ballad. The famous stanza of Witherington, in particular, is thus parodied:
For Wood, of Seale, needs must I wail, 
As one in doleful dumps;
For, if he e'er should play again,
I must be on his stumps.
And in a note it is said that "one
of this poor man's legs was bound
up, and it us feared must undergo an
amputation†."
The ballad concludes with the different reflections made on this event by the Rectors of Sevenoak and Barham, in whose parishes are the seats of the Duke of Dorset and Sir Horace Mann, and with informing us that Kent afterwards took her revenge, in the following stanzas:
This vow full well did Kent perform, 
After on Sevenoak Vine; 
With six not in, the game was won,
Though White got fifty-nine:
--------------------
ORIGINAL.
For With'rington I needs must wail,
As one in doleful dumps;
For when his legs were smitten off,
He fought upon his stumps.
*    *    *    *    *
This vow full well the King perform'd
After, on Humbledown;
In one day fifty Knights were slain,
With Lords of great renown:
-----------------------
†It is also said, that "the stanza here parodied having been injudiciously substituted in the latter copies of Chevy-chace, printed in 1524, the sense at the same time being so burlesqued that the Spectator dared not quote it, the original stanza, in which that absurdity is avoided, is added, from the old ballad at Otterburn," printed in the reign of Henry VI. together with a parody, that the reader may take his choice:
ORIGINAL.
For Witherington my heart was woe
That ever he slain should be,
For when both his legswere hewn in two,
Yet he kneel'd, and fought on his knee.
PARODY.  
For bare-footed Wood my heart was woe,
That his leg bound up should be,
For if both his legs should be cut off,
He would kneel, and catch on his knee.

For Miller, Wood, and Dorset then
Display'd their wonted skill:
Thus ended the fam'd match of Bourn,
Won by Earl Tankerville.
God save the King, and bless the land
With plenty and increase;
And grant henceforth that idle games
In harvest-time may cease!
-------------------------
ORIGINAL.
And of the rest, of small account,
Did many thousands die:
Thus ended the hunting of Chevy-chace,
Made by the Earl Piercy,
God save the King, and bless the land
In plenty, joy, and peace;
And grant henceforth, that foul debate
'Twixt noblemen may cease.
