[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.

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.
