For wine and good cheer, be it never so dear,

I vow I the reckning will pay.

Come, ‘brothers,’ be merry, said jolly Robìn,

Let us drink, and never give ore ;

For the shot I will pay, ere I go my way,

If it cost me five pounds and more.

This is a mad blade, the butchers then said.

Saies the sheriff, He is some prodigal,

That some land has sold for silver and gold,

And now he doth mean to spend all.
