For in this merryment it is my desire

To talke with this iollye knight and the younge squier.’

When as the noble lords saw the kings merriment,

Thé were right ioyfull and glad in their harts;

A pursiuant thé sent straight on this busines,

The which oftentimes vsed those parts.

When he came to the place where he did dwell,

His message merrilye then he did tell.
