Then came the quean dame Chat, see now,

To ask for her black cup, see now:

And even here at this gate, see now,

She took that nee'le up, see now,

My gammer then she yede,[275] see now,

Her nee'le again to bring, see now,

And was caught by the head, see now;

Is not this a wondrous thing, see now?

She tare my gammer's coat, see now,

And scratched her by the face, see now,
