Cheese, or meal, or what you will,

Whate’er it be we’ll not take it ill:

Even an egg will not come amiss,

For the swallow’s not nice

When she wishes to dine.

Come, what shall we have? Say, what shall it be?

For we will not go,

Though time doth flee,

Till thou answerest Yes, or answerest No.

But if thou art churlish we’ll break down the gate,
