XVIII.Strike it vp Tabor

[1]

Strike it vp Tabor
And pipe vs a fauour,
Thou shalt be well paid for thy labour:
I meane to spend my shoe sole
To dance about the May pole,
I will be blith and briske,
Leap and skip,
Hop and trip,
Turne about in the rout,
Vntill very meary werry
Ioyntes can scarse friske.

Lusty Dicke Hopkin,
lay on with thy napkin,
the stiching cost me but a dodkin,
the Morris were halfe vndone,
Wert not for Martin of Compton,
O well said Iiging Alce,
Pritty Gill,
stand you still,
Dapper Iacke,
meanes to smacke,
how now, fie, fie, fie, you dance false.
