There was not ane durst come him near,

Nay not sir Corby, nor his bride.

He came not with a single side,

For mony a tike did him attend,

I wait he was no puft we pride,

As you shall hear before I end.

See rudely they fell to the meat,

But napkin, trencher, salt, or knife;

Some to the head, some to the feet,

While banes geud bare there was na strife.
