[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.
