KNIGHT AND WAMBAA
-
There came three merry men from south west and northB
Ever more sing the roundelayC
To win the Widow of Wycombe forthB
And where was the widow might say them nayD
-
The first was a knight and from Tynedale he cameA
Ever more sing the roundelayC
And his fathers God save us were men of great fameA
And where was the widow might say him nayD
-
Of his father the laird of his uncle the squireE
He boasted in rhyme and in roundelayC
She bade him go bask by his sea coal fireF
For she was the widow would say him nayD
-
WAMBAA
-
The next that came forth swore by blood and by nailsG
Merrily sing the roundelayC
Hur's a gentleman God wot and hur's lineage was of WalesG
And where was the widow might say him nayD
-
Sir David ap Morgan ap Griffith ap HughH
Ap Tudor ap Rhice quoth his roundelayC
She said that one widow for so many was too fewH
And she bade the Welshman wend his wayD
-
But then next came a yeoman a yeoman of KentI
Jollily singing his roundelayC
He spoke to the widow of living and rentI
And where was the widow could say him nayD
-
BOTHJ
-
So the knight and the squire were both left in the mireE
There for to sing their roundelayC
For a yeoman of Kent with his yearly rentI
There never was a widow could say him nayD
