For the kiss in the porch and the meat in the hall.

And safe shall our maidens sit at home

For the foe by the way we wend must come.

Through the three Lavers shall we go

And raise them all against the foe.

Then shall we wend the Downland ways,

And all the shepherd spearmen raise.

To Cheaping Raynes shall we come adown

And gather the bowmen of the town;

And Greenstead next we come unto
