Under the shade of a thick-spreading tree, Upon the grass, no better carpeting, We'll eat our noontide meal; and, dinner done, One of us shall repair to Nottingham, To seek some safe night-lodging in the town, Where you may sleep, while here with us you dwell, By day, in the forest, expecting better times, And gentler habitations, noble Margaret.

_Allons_, Sir Englishman.

The time has been I've studied love-lays in the English tongue, And been enamor'd of rare poesy: Which now I must unlearn.

Henceforth, Sweet mother-tongue, old English speech, adieu; For Margaret has got new name and language new.
