My doublet, hose, and bever-hat,
And a golden band about my neck.
With a silver rapier by my side,
So like a gallant I did ride;
The thing that I delighted on,
Was for to be a serving-man.
Thus in my sumptuous man’s array
I bravely rode along the way;
And at the last it chanced so
That I unto the king’s court did go.
