And when John Dory to Paris was come, A little before the Gate a; John Dory was fitted, the Porter was witted, To let him in threat a.
III.
The first Man that John Dory did meet, Was good King John of France a; John Dory could well of his courtesie, But fell down in a Trance a.
IV.
A Pardon, a Pardon, my Liege and King, For my merry Men, and for me a; And all the Churls in merry England, I'le bring them all bound to thee a.
V.
Sir Nichol was then a Cornish man, A little beside Bohide a; And he mann'd forth a good black Bark, With fifty good Oars on a side a.
VI.
Run up my Boy, unto the main Top, And look what thou canst spy a; Who ho! who ho! a goodly Ship I do see, I trow it be John Dory a.

Thy hoist their Sails, both top and top, The Meisein and all was try'd a; And every Man stood to his Lot, What ever should betide a.

SIr John got him an embling Nag, To Scotland for to ride a; With a hundred Horse more than his own, To guard him each side a.

No errant Knight e're went to fight, With half so gay a Serado; Had you seen but his Look, you'd a sworn on a Book, He'd conquer'd a whole Armado.
III.
The Ladies run all to the Windows to see So noble and gallent a sight a; And as he rode by, they began to cry, Sir John! why will you go to fight a!
IV.
But he like a cruel Knight rode on, His Heart would not relent a; For 'till he came there he shew'd no fear, Why then should be Repent a?
V.
The King (God bless) had singular hopes Of him, and all his Troop a; The Bord'rers as they meet him o'th' way, For joy did hollow and hoop a.
VI.
None lik'd him so well as his own Colonel, Who took him for John Du-wart a; But when there were shews of Gunning and Blows, Sir John was nothing so pert a.
VII.
For when the Scotch Army came in sight, All men were prepared to fight a; He ran to his Tent, and ask'd what they meant▪ And swore be must needs go shite a.
VIII.
His Colonel sent for him back again, To Quarter him in the Van a; But Sir John did swear, he came not there To be kill'd the very first man a.
IX.
To cure his fear, he was sent i'th' Rear, Some ten miles back and more a; Where he fell to play at Tray-trip for Hey, And ne're saw the Enemy more a.
