I am not come here for to laugh or to jeer,
But for a pocketfull of money, and a skinfull of beer;
To show some sport and pastime,
Gentlemen and ladies in the Christmas time.
If you will not believe what I do say,
Come in the Turkish Knight—clear the way.
Enter the Turkish Knight.
Open your doors, and let me in,
I hope your favors I shall win;
Whether I rise, or whether I fall,
