ENGLISH SONG AND BALLAD MUSIC.
To the souldiers that were maimed,
And wounded in the fray,
The queen allowed a pension
Of fifteen pence a day ;
And from all costs and charges
She quit and set them free :
And this she did all for the sake
Of brave Lord Willoughhey.
Then courage, nohle Englishmen,
And never be dismaid ;
If that we he but one to ten
We will not be afraid
To fight with foraign enemies.
And set our nation free.
And thus I end the bloody bout
Of brave Lord Willoughhey.
ALL FLOWERS OF THE BEOOM.
This is mentioned as a dance tune by Nicholas Breton, in a passage already
quoted from his Works of a young Wit, 1577 (ante p. 91) ; and by Nashe, in the
following, from his Have with you to Saffron- Walden, 1596 : —
" Or doo as Dick Harvey did, that having preacht and beat downs three pulpits in
inveighing against dauncing, one Sunday evening, vrhen his wench or friskin was foot-
ing it aloft on the greene, with foote out and foote in, and as busie as might be at
Rogero, Basilino, Turkelony, All the flowers of the broom, Pepper is black, Greene
Sleeves, Peggie Ramsey,'^ he came sneaking behind a tree, and lookt on ; and though
hee was loth to be seene to countenance the sport, having laid God's word against it so
dreadfully ; yet to shew his good will to it in heart, hee sent her eighteen pence in
hugger-mugger {i.e., in secret), to pay the fiddlers."
The time is contained in William Ballet's Lute Book, under the name of
Allfloures in hroome.
