[Now Robin laugh and sing]
Now Robin laugh and sing,
thy Masters sheepe-sheering,
When Pyes and Custards smoake,
then Robin plyes his poake,
And plaies the merry Cater,
My teeth doth run a water,
And when the Bagpipes play
for this the merry day,
Then comes in little Ioane,
And bids strike vp the droane.

And while the droane doth play,
Vpon this merry day:
The Country Lasses throng,
With Timbrels to their song,
In praise of lusty Robin,
The Townes chiefe iolly Robin.
Who footes it ore the Downes,
Not caring for such Clownes
As scorne his little Ioane.
Then strike vp still the droane.
