I went by invitation thither,

But I got no sufficiency (of meat or drink).

I got a drink of meal gruel there,

And got bad barley scones;

I got the leg of a hen there,

And, by my troth, she was a poor and tough one.

This is an invitation that has annoyed me,

I will leave this to-night

Without (I may say) food or drink

I will leave thee, Barbreck;
