The usual introduction is missing but in pencil is the following:

[Old ballad sheet] Clift, printer, Cirencester.

Verse 1, Line 1

The first two words are partially obscured but are probably correct.

Verse 2, Lines 1 and 2

Crossed out is:

Bold Hodge is made of valiant stuff,
His team [illegible] he took home,

Verse 3, Line 8

Instead of balls of wax he have balls of powder
