[Wee be three poore Mariners, ]

[1]

Wee be three poore Mariners,
newly come from the seas,
We spend our liues in ieopardy,
whiles other liue at ease.
Shall we goe daunce the round?
and shall we goe daunce the round?
And he that is a bully boy,
come pledge me on the ground.

2

We care not for those martiall men,
that doe our states disdaine:
But we care for those Marchant men,
which doe our states maintaine.

3

To them we daunce this round, a round
to them we dance this round:
And he that is a bully boy,
come pledge me on the ground.
