I.
12. Here are two relics of music for the Clown in _Tw. Nt._ IV, ii,
probably of the same period as the above.
[Music: Clown
Hey, Robin, jolly Robin,
Tell me how thy lady does,
Hey, Robin, jolly Robin, tell me how thy lady does.
I'm gone, Sir, and anon, Sir,
I'll be with you again, Sir.]
For the rest of the words of 'A Robyn, Jolly Robyn,' see Percy's
Reliques, Vol. I. p. 148.
13. 'Whoop, do me no harm, good man,' p. 72. _Winter's Tale_ IV, iii,
198. The rest of the words unknown, but several ballads printed in
latter part of 16th century go to this tune--
[Music: Autolycus [Whoop, do me no harm, good man.]]
14. Stephano's 'scurvey tunes,' _Tempest_ II, ii, 41, see p. 73. "As
sung by Mr Bannister" [1667].
[Music: Stephano
I shall no more to sea, to sea,
Here shall I die a-shore.
The master, the swabber, the bosun, and I,
The gunner, and his mate,
Lov'd Mall, Meg, Marian, and Margery,
But none of us car'd for Kate;
For she had a tongue with a tang,
Then to sea, boys, and let her go hang,
Then to sea, boys, and let her go hang.]
15. 'Jog On,' p. 72, _Winter's Tale_ IV, ii, 125. Two more stanzas
were first printed 1661, see Chappell, Vol. I. 160. The tune is from
the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book (Queen Elizabeth's Virginal Book), where
it has the name
_Hanskin._
[Music: Autolycus
Jog on, jog on, the foot-path way,
And merrily hent the stile-a:
A merry heart goes all the day,
Your sad tires in a mile-a.
