And later had much trouble from a fool,
While that great Queen, that rose out of the spray,

A crazy salad with their meat
Whereby the Horn of Plenty is undone.

And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

That all her thoughts may like the linnet be,
That all her thoughts may like the linnet be,
