by Unknown

The scheref made John gode chere,

And gaf hym wine of the best ;

At nyzt thei went to her bedde,

And euery man to his rest.

When the scheref was on-slepe

Dronken of wine and ale,

Litul Johne and Moche for sothe

Toke the way vnto the gale ;

Litul Johne callid vp the jayler,

And bade hym rise anon ;
