Who took the coyne he payde,

And giving change, she sayde,

“Here you are.”

As I sate a-drynkynge, her face was as a star.

As I sate a-drynkynge, a-drynkynge, a-drynkynge,

Blythely sang the Birde as she pecked about my shoes;

This journalistic childe

Continuously smyled,

And got to mixing “mild”

With Chartreuse.
