With that King Henrye shifted his room[1153];
In came the Queene and ladyes bright;
Other arrands they had none
But to see Sir Andrew Barton, Knight.

But when they saw his deadly face,
His eyes were hollow in his head;
‘I wo’ld give a hundred pound,’ says his Grace,
‘The man were alive as he is dead!

‘Yet for the manful part he hath play’d,
Both here at home and beyond the sea,
His men shall have half-a-crowne a day
Till they come to my brother, King Jamie.’
