The priest and thy wife are right merrie,
Are having good sport and cheer.
Get into the sack, that I bear on my back,
And what they shall say, thou’lt hear.
“O Richard Malvine, O Richard Malvine!
Thy wife is false to thee.
I’ll stand the sack in the chimney-back,
Where thou canst hear and see.
And thou shalt find, when thou hast a mind
To call, I am near to thee.”
