The music struck up, and we all fell to dance,
’Till the bride and bridegroom were a-bed. {160}
And what they did there must be counsel to me,
Because they lay long the next day ;
And I had haste home, but I got a good piece
Of bride-cake, and so came away.
Now, out, alas ! I had forgotten to tell ye,
That marry’d they were with a ring ;
And so will Nan Knight, or be buried a maiden :
And now let us pray for the king ;
