William shall to his dear return:
Love turns aside the balls that round me fly,
Lest precious tears should drop from Susan's eye,

Love turns aside the balls that round me fly,
Lest precious tears should drop from Susan's eye,

Her ⟨less'ning⟩ boat, unwilling, rows to land,
Adieu, she cries, and wav'd her lily hand.

Up the wild forest, and down the wild forest,
and down by yon green-wood tree.
And there I spy'd a jolly brisk Tanner,
and a brave brisk Tanner was he.

O I am a Courtier, replied the King,
and a Courtier I be.
I once had a brother of your occupation,
was hanged, and so will ye, says the Tanner.
