[Now what of the flagons of silver fine?]
Now what of the flagons of silver fine?Faith, they shall have no praise of mine.
When a nobleman he doth them send
To have them filled, as he doth intend,
The man with his flagon runs quite away,
And never is seen again after that day.
Oh, then his lord begins to ban,
And swears he hath lost both flagon and man:
But it ne'er was known that page or groom,
But with a leathern bottle again would come.
And I wish in heaven, &c.
