Freemens Songs of 3. Voices.
[As it fell on a holy day]
[1]
As it fell on a holy day,and vpon an holy tide a,
Iohn Dory bought him an ambling Nag,
to Paris for to ride a.
2
And when Iohn Dory to Paris was come,a little before the gate a:
Iohn Dory was fitted, the porter was witted,
to let him in thereat a:
3
The first man that Iohn Dory did meet,was good King Iohn of France a:
Iohn Dory could well of his courtesie,
but fell downe in a trance a.
4
A pardon, a pardon my Liege & my king,for my merie men and for me a:
And all the Churles in merie England,
Ile bring them all bound to thee a.
5
And Nicholl was then a Cornish man,a little beside Bohyde a:
And he mande forth a good blacke Barke,
with fiftie good oares on a side a.
6
Run vp my Boy vnto the maine top,and looke what thou canst spie a:
Who, ho; who, ho, a goodly ship I do see,
I trow it be Iohn Dory.
7
They hoist their Sailes both top and top,the meisseine and all was tride a:
And every man stood to his lot,
what euer should be tide a.
8
The roring Cannons then were plide,an aldub aldub went the drumme a:
The braying Trumpets lowde they cride,
to courage both all and some a.
9
The grapling hooks were brought at length,the browne bill and the sword a:
Iohn Dory at length, for all his strength,
was clapt fast vnder board a.
60
[The Flye she sat in Shamble row]
[1]
The Flye she sat in Shamble row,And shambled with, her heeles I trow.
And then came in sir Cranion,
with legs so long and many a one.
2
And said Ioue speede Dame Flye, Dame Flye,marry you be welcome good Sir quoth she:
The Master humble Bee hath sent me to thee,
to wit and if you will his true loue be.
3
But shee said nay, that may not be,for I must haue the Butterflye:
For and a greater Lord there may not be.
But at the last consent did shee.
4
And there was bid to this wedding,all Flyes in the field and Wormes creeping:
The Snaile she came crawling all ouer the plaine,
with all her ioly trinckets at her traine.
5
Tenne Bees there came all clad in Gold.and all the rest did them behold:
But the Thonbud refused this sight to see.
and to a Cow-plat away flyes shee.
61
6
But where now shall this wedding be?for and hey nonny no in an old Iue tree:
And where now shall we bake our bread?
for and hey nony no in an old horse head.
7
And where now shall wee brew our Ale?but euen within one Walnut shale:
And also where shall we our dinner make,
but euen vpon a galde Horse backe.
8
For there wee shall haue good companie,with humbling and bumbling and much melody:
When ended was this wedding day
the Bee hee tooke his flye away.,
9
And laid her downe vpon the Marsh,betweene one Marigold and one long grasse:
And there they begot good master Gnat,
and made him the heire of all, that's flat.
63

with neuer a penny of mony.

[Wee be three poore Mariners, ]
[1]
Wee be three poore Mariners,newly come from the seas,
We spend our liues in ieopardy,
whiles other liue at ease.
Shall we goe daunce the round?
and shall we goe daunce the round?
And he that is a bully boy,
come pledge me on the ground.
and shall we goe daunce the round?
And he that is a bully boy,
come pledge me on the ground.
2
We care not for those martiall men,that doe our states disdaine:
But we care for those Marchant men,
which doe our states maintaine.
3
To them we daunce this round, a roundto them we dance this round:
And he that is a bully boy,
come pledge me on the ground.
