Part 70 (2/2)

Bryng vs in no b.u.t.ter, for therin ar many herys Nor bryng us in no pygges flesch, for that will make us borys; But bryng us in good ale.

Bryng us in no podynges, for therin is al G.o.des-good; Nor bryng us in no venesen, for that is not for owr blood; But bryng us in good ale.

Bryng us in no capons flesch, for that is ofte der; Nor bryng us in no dokes flesche, for thei slober in the mer; But bryng us in good ale.

See also the other ale song at p. 81 of the same volume, with the burden

Doll thi ale, doll; doll thi ale, doll; Ale mak many a mane to have a doty poll.

p. 191, l. 435, _Gromes._ ”the said four groomes, or two of them at the least, shall repaire and be in the King's privy chamber, at the farthest between six and seven of the clock in the morning, or sooner, as they shall have knowledge that the King's highnesse intendeth to be up early in the morning; which groomes so comen to the said chamber, shall not onely avoyde the pallets, but also make ready the fire, dresse and straw the chamber, purgeing and makeing cleane of the same of all manner of filthynesse, in such manner and wise as the King's highnesse, at his upriseing and comeing thereunto, may finde the said chamber pure, cleane, whollsome, and meete, without any displeasant aire or thing, as the health, commodity, and pleasure of his most n.o.ble person doth require.” _Household Ordinances_, p. 155, cap. 56, A.D. 1526.
