Tut let him come with millions of hosts, He shall find entertainment good enough, Yea fit for those that are our enemies: For we'll receive them at the lances points, And massacre their bodies with our blades: Yea though they were in number infinite, More than the mighty Babylonian queen, Semiramis the ruler of the West, Brought 'gainst the Emperor of the Scythians, Yet would we not start back one foot from them: That they might know we are invincible. Now by great Ioue the supreme king of heaven, And the immortal gods that live therein, whenas the morning shows his cheerful face, And Lucifer mounted upon his steed, Brings in the chariot of the golden sun, I'll meet young Albanact in the open field, And crack my lance upon his burganet, To try the valour of his boyish strength: There will I show such ruthful spectacles And cause so great effusion of blood, That all his boys shall wonder at my strength: As when the warlike queen of Amazon, Penthesilea armed with her lance, Girt with a corselet of bright shining steel, cooped up the faintheart Grecians in the camp. Spoke like a warlike knight my noble son, Nay like a prince that seeks his father's joy, Therefore tomorrow ere fair Titan shine, And bashful Eos messenger of light: Expels the liquid sleep from out men's eyes, Thou shalt conduct the right wing of the host, The left wing shall be under Segar's charge, The rearward shall be under me myself, And lovely Estrild fair and gracious, If fortune favour me in mine attempts, Thou shalt be queen of lovely Albion, Fortune shall favour me in mine attempts, And make the Queen of lovely Albion. Come let us in and muster up our train, And furnish up our lusty soldiers, That they may be a bulwark to our state, And bring our wished joys to perfect end. We Cobblers lead a merry life, Dan, dan, dan, dan: Void of all envy and of strife: Dan diddle dan. Our ease is great, our labour small: Dan, dan, dan, dan. And yet our gains be much withal: Dan diddle dan. With this art so fine and fair: Dan, dan, dan, dan. No occupation may compare Dan diddle dan: For merry pastime and joyful glee: Dan, dan, dan, dan. Most happy men we Cobblers be: Dan diddle dan. The can stands full of nappy ale, Dan: dan: dan: dan: In our shop still withouten fail: Dan diddle dan. This is our meat, this is our food: Dan: dan: dan: dan: This brings us to a merry mood: Dan diddle dan. This makes us work for company: Dan, dan, dan, dan: To pull the tankards cheerfully: Dan diddle dan.

Tut let him come with millions of hostes, He shall find entertainment good inough, Yea fit for those that are our enemies: For weell receiue them at the launces points, And massaker their bodies with our blades: Yea though they were in number infinit, More then the mightie Babilonian queene, Semiramis the ruler of the West, Brought gainst the Emperour of the Scithians, Yet would we not start back one foote from them: That they might know we are inuincible.
