Tixall Poetry.
For when he foil'd him,
Feld him,
Kill'd him,
Who can expresse my griefe that beheld him.
Raging, I tore my haire for to bind him,
And vow'd and swore ide nere stay behind him.



XLIX.

A Ballad.


1.Come, lasses and lads,
    Take leave of your dads,
   And away to the maypole high;
    For every hee,
    Hath got him a shee,
   And a minstrill standing by.
   Will hath got a gill,
   And John hath got a Joan,
To jig it, jig it, jig it, jig it, jig it up and downe.
