Were three brethren out of Spain,Come to court your daughter Jane.My daughter Jane she is too young,She has no skill in a flattering tongue.Be she young or be she old,Its for her gold she must be sold,So fare you well, my lady gay,We shall return another day. Mistress Mary, quite contrary,How does… … When I was a little boy, my mother kept me in,Now I am a great boy, and fit to serve the king ;I can handle a musket, I can smoke a pipe,I can kiss a pretty girl at ten oclock at night.
