And noble George Gamwel said, Eat and be merry,
And drink too as long as you’re able. {154}
When dinner was ended, his chaplain said grace,
And, Be merry, my friends, said the squire ;
It rains and it blows, but call for more ale,
And lay some more wood on the fire.
And now call ye Little John hither to me,
For Little John is a fine lad,
At gambols and juggling, and twenty such tricks,
As shall make you both merry and glad.
