“Those innocent smiles that embelish his face,
     Come love mee where I lay;
   Who sees them not tokens of goodness and grace—­
     The cleane contrary way,
     O the cleane contrary way.

  “And what other scholler could ever arise,
     Come love mee where I lay;
   From a master that was soe sincere and wise—­
     The cleane contrary way,
     O the cleane contrary way.

  “Who is hee could now from his grave but ascend,
     Come love mee where I lay;
   Would surely the truth of his service commend—­
     The cleane contrary way,
     O the cleane contrary way.

  “The king understands how he honors his place,
     Come love me where I lay;
   Which is to his majestie noe little grace—­
     The cleane contrary way,
     O the cleane contrary way.

  “And therefore the government justly hath hee,
     Come love mee where I lay;
   Of horse for the land, and shipps for the sea—­
     The cleane contrary way,
     O the cleane contrary way.

  “What, though our fleet be our enemies debtor,
     Come love mee where I lay;
   Wee brav’d them once, and wee’l brave them better—­
     The cleane contrary way,
     O the cleane contrary way.

  “And should they land heere they should bee disjointed,
     Come love mee where I lay;
   And find both our horse and men bravely appointed—­
     The cleane contrary way,
     O the cleane contrary way.

  “Then let us sing all of this nobel duke’s praise,
     Come love mee where I lay;
   And pray for the length of his life and his daies—­
     The cleane contrary way,
     O the cleane contrary way.

  “And when that death shall close up his eyes,
     Come love mee where I lay;
   God take him up into the skies—­
     The cleane contrary way,
     O the cleane contrary way.”

EDWARD F. RIMBAULT.
