ND now to be breef

And pass our the rest

And come to this joke

Which is now to be past;

And come to King James,

The first on the throne,

A pleasenter Monarch

Sure never was known.

Once he went a chacing

The fair fallow deer,

Where he dropt all his nobles

And of them got clear;

In search of new pleasures

Away he did ride,

Till he came to an ale-house

Hard by a wood side:

And there with a bold Tinkler

He happened to meet.

Who in this kind manner

Did lovingly greet,

What have you got laddie

Into your brown mug,

That under your arm

You so lovingly hug.
