‘And seven pieces of ordinance, I pray your honour lend to mee, On each side of my ship along, And I will lead you on the sea. A glasse Ile sett, that may be seene, Whether you sayle by day or night; And to-morrowe, I sweare, by nine of the clocke You shall meet with Sir Andrew Barton, knight.’ THE SECOND PART. ‘The merchant sett my lorde a glasse So well apparent in his sight, And on the morrowe, by nine of the clocke, He shewed him Sir Andrewe Barton, knight. His hachebord it was gilt with gold, So deerlye dight it dazzled the ee: “Nowe by my faith,” lord Howarde sais, This is a gallant sight to see.’ P. 16. =John Dory.= Text in Ritson, _Ancient Songs and Ballads_, ed. 1877, p. 198, and in Child, _English and Scottish Popular Ballads_, v. 131. The ballad was first printed in 1609, but is mentioned in 1575. Tune in Chappell, _Old English Popular Music_, i. 93, ed. Wooldridge. It refers to no known historical event, but is perhaps a traditional account of some incident in the Hundred Years’ War. Carew, in his _Survey of Cornwall_, refers to the ballad as ‘an old three-man’s song’ about ‘one Nicholas, son to a widow near Foy’ (ed. 1602, p. 135). P. 17. =The Mariner’s Song.= From the _Comedy of Common Conditions_, circa 1570. Printed by J. P. Collier, _English Dramatic Poetry_, ed. 1879, ii. 293; also in Stone’s _Sea Songs and Ballads_, p. 4. P. 18. =The Obtaining of the Great Galleazzo.= _Roxburghe Ballads_, vi. 384. Also printed in Arber’s _Tudor Tracts_, p. 485, and in J. P. Collier’s _Broadside Black-Letter Ballads_, 1868, p. 79, which gives some variants. By Thomas Deloney. P. 21. =The Winning of Cales.= _Roxburghe Ballads_, vi. 402. Printed also in Hales and Furnivall, _Bishop Percy’s Folio MS._, iii. 453, which gives some variants.

A version with variants is given by Child, _English and Scottish Popular Ballads_, v. 133. In Fletcher’s _Two Noble Kinsmen_, the jailor’s daughter sings a fragment of an earlier version: The George Alow came from the South From the coast of Barbary-a; And there he met with brave gallants of war By one, by two, by three-a. Well hail’d, well hail’d, you jolly gallants, And whither now are you bound-a? O let me have your company Till [I]come unto the Sound-a.
