Row Well, Ye Mariners

The music is based on the score in Popular Music of the Olden Time (William Chapell, 1859). The song was known by 1584 (Delone wrote a contrafact to it).

All you that news would hear.

Give ear to me, poor Fabyn Fly

At Rome I was this year,

And in the Pope his nose did lie;

But there I could no long abide

He blew me out of ev'ry side

For first when he had heard the news

That rebels did their prince misuse

Then he wish joy

Did sport himself with many a toy

He then so stout

That from his nose he blew me out.
