ALL you that do desire to know what is become of the King of Scots I unto you will truly show, after the fight of the Northern Rats Twas I did convey His Highnesse away, And from all dangers set him free, In womans attire, As reason did require, And the King himself did wait on me. He of me a service did crave, and often-times to me stood bear, In womans apparrel he was most brave and on his chin he had no hare, Where ever I came My speeches did frame, So well my Waiting-man to free, The like was never know, I think by any one. For the King etc.
My Waiting man a Jewell had, which I for want of Mony sold, Because my Fortune was so bad, wee turnd our Jewell into Gold, A good shift indeed, In time of our need. Then glad was I and glad was he, Our cause it did advance, Untill wee came to France, And the King. etc. Wee walked through Westminster-hall, where Law and Justice doth take place Our grief was great our comfort small, wee lookt grim death all in the face. I looked round about, And made no other doubt. But I and my man should taken be. The people little knew. As I may tell to you. That the King himself did wait on me.
FRom thence we went to the fatall place where his Father lost his life. And there my man did weep apace. and sorrow with him then was rife. I bid him peace. Let sorrow cease. For fear that we should taken be. The gallants in Whiteahll. Did little know at all. That the King himself did wait on me. The King he was my Servingman, and thus the plot we did contrive, I went by the name of Mistresse Ann when we took water at Queen. hive. A boat there we took, And London forsook. And now in France arrived are we, We got away by stealth, And the King is in good health, And he shall no longer wait on me. The King of Denmarks dead they say. then Charls is like to rule the Land, In France he will no longer stay as I do rightly understand. That Land is his due
If they be but true. And he with them do well agree, I heard a Bird sing. If he be once their King, my man will then my Master be. Now heaven grant them better successe with their young King then England had Free from warr and from distresse, their Fortune may not be so bad. Since the case thus stands Let neighbouring Lands Lay down their arms and at quiet be But as for my part Im glad withall my heart That my man must now my Master be. And thus I have declard to you by what means wee escapd away Now wee bid our cares adiew though the King did loose the day To him I was true, And that well he knew Tis God that must his comfort be else all our policy had bin but foolery For the King no longer waits on me.
