| And hung with sleep | D |
| - | |
| My Inn door bears no bar | F |
| Set up against fear | G |
| The guests have journeyed far | F |

| On many a loyal quest | N |
| Shall find the goal of man | M |
| A bed and rest | N |

| We shall not stand to the toast | O |
| Of Love or King | P |

| We rest who laboured and warred | O |
| Shout once shout once for the King | P |
| Shout once for the sword | O |
