A good sword and a trusty hand!
A merry heart and true!
King James’s men shall understand
What Cornish lads can do.
And have they fix’d the where and when?
And shall Trelawny die?
Here’s twenty thousand Cornish men
Will know the reason why!

Waes-hael for knight and dame!
O merry be their dole!
Drink-hael! in Jesu’s name
We fill the tawny bowl;
But cover down the curving crest,
Mould of the Orient Lady’s breast.
