Catches, canons and drinking songs

to your rude health,

Song: My sledge and hammer lie reclined, my bellows,...

by Joseph Baildon . A Epitaph, Catch for Three voices , in A minor

𝄵 (Cut time), 𝄴 (Common time)

Text:

My sledge and hammer lie reclined,
my bellows, too, have lost their wind,
my fire’s extinct, my forge decayed,
and in the dust my vice is laid,
my coal is spent, my iron’s gone,
my nails are drove, my work is done.
