''Ho! is there any will ride with me,''

Sir Giles, le bon des barriéres?

The clink of arms is good to hear,

The flap of pennons fair to see;

''Ho! is there any will ride with me,''

Sir Giles, le bon des barrières?

The leopards and lilies are fair to see,

“St. George Guienne” right good to hear:

''Ho! is there any will ride with me,''

Sir Giles, le bon des barrières?

I stood by the barrier,

My coat being blazon’d fair to see;

''Ho! is there any will ride with me,''

Sir Giles, le bon des barrières?

Clisson put out his head to see,

And lifted his basnet up to: hear;

I pull’d him through the bars to ME,

Sir Giles, le bon des barrières.
