I Am a Flemyng, what for all that,
Although I wyll be dronken other whyles as a rat?
“Buttermouth Flemyng,” men doth me call;
Butter is good meate, it doth relent the gall.
To my butter I take good bread and drynke;
To quaf to moch of it, it maketh me to wynk.
Great studmares we bryng vp in Flaunders;
We sell them into England, wher they get the glaunders.
