Rh  A Fool, a fool, a fool, a Fool, I heard thou say, But more the other way, For here I have a Tool Will make a Maid to play, Although in Cupid's School, Come all away.

I am the Knight of Lee, And here I have a Dagger, Offended not to be, Come in thou needy Beggar, And follow me.

Behold, behold, behold, A man of poor Estate, Not one Penny to infold.

My money is out at use, or else I would.

With a Hack, a hack, a hack. See how I will skip and dance, For joys that we have found, Let each man take his chance, And we will all dance round.

[Then they dance the Sword Dance, which is called "Nelly's Gig," then they run under their Swords, which is called "Runing Battle," then Three Dancers dances with 3 Swords, and the foreman jumping over the Swords, then the Fool goes up to Cicely.
