 18 We'll laugh and sing before the King.

so let his health go round;

For I am as bold as bold can be,

no cobbler e'er was ruder;

Then here good fellow here's to thee,

(remembering Harry Tudor.)

When I'm at work within my stall,

upon him I will think ;

His kindness I to mind will call,

whene'er I eat or drink;

His kindness was to me so great,

the like was never known,

His kindness I shall still repeat,

and so shall my wife Joan.

I'll laugh when I sit in my stall,

and merrily will sing.

That I with my poor last and awl,

am fellow with the king.

But it is more I must confess,

than I at first did know,

But Harry Tudor ne'ertheless,

resolves it shall be so.

And now farewell unto Whitehall,

I homeward must retire,
