Hawkes and fysh of me marchauntes do by all daye.
And I was borne in Islond, as brute as a beest;
Whan I ete candels ends, I am at a feest.
Talow and raw stockfysh, I do loue to ete;
In my countrey it is right good meate;
Raw fysh and flesh I eate whan I haue nede;
Upon such meates I do loue to feed.
Lytle I do care for matyns or masse,
And for any good rayment, I do neuer passe;
Good beastes skyns I do loue for to were,
Be it the skins of a wolfe or of a beare.
