Lord ! he was grieved sore ;
And to his merry men he did say,
(Who altogether swore),
That Will Stutly should rescued be,
And be brought ‘back’ again ;
Or else should many a gallant wight
For his sake there be slain.
He cloathed himself in scarlet ‘red,’
His men were all in green ;
A finer shew, throughout the world,
