Next morning away to London,
along with a sturdy guide,
To his uncle’s house at Cheapside,
he sent him to abide.
As he was going along the road,
he said unto the guide,
I’ll give you twenty guineas,
to let me step aside;
The guide he soon consented,
he went to his sweetheart Sue,
And told to her the story,
and what he meant to do.
Disguised like a Cobler,
with a sham and musty beard,
A ragged coat, not worth a groat,
to his father's house he rode:
He knocked boldly at the door,
his father hither came;
He asked him, if he was the Knight?
He answer’d, Yes, I am.
I understand your son, Sir,
a wanton trick has play’d,
Unknown unto your worshiip,
and with your chamber-maid;
