His hat was wrecked, and his trousers bore

A rent across either knee,

When down came the beauteous Lady Jane

In fair white draperee.

“Oh, where have you been, Lord Lovell?” she said:

“Oh, where have you been?” said she:

“I have not closed an eye in bed,

And the clock has just struck three.

Who has been standing you on your head

In the ash-barrel, perdee?”
