(Vol. v., p. 587.) Has not the following song something to do with the expression "Martin drunk"? It is certainly cotemporary with Thomas Nash the Elizabethan satirist, and was long a favourite "three man's" song. It is copied from _Deuteromelia, or the Second Part of Musick's Melodie_, 4to., 1609: "MARTIN SAID TO HIS MAN. "Martin said to his man, Fie! man, fie! O Martin said to his man, Who's the foole now? Martin said to his man, Fill thou the cup, and I the can; Thou hast well drunken, man, Who's the foole now? "I see a sheepe shering corne, Fie! man, fie! I see a sheepe shering corne, Who's the foole now? I see a sheepe shering corne, And a cuckold blow his horne; Thou hast well drunken, man, Who's the foole now? "I see a man in the moone, Fie! man, fie! I see a man in the moone; Who's the foole now? I see a man in the moone, Clowting of St. Peter's shoone; Thou hast well drunken, man, Who's the foole now? "I see a hare chase a hound, Fie! man, fie! I see a hare chase a hound, Who's the foole now? I see a hare chase a hound, Twenty mile above the ground; Thou hast well drunken, man, Who's the foole now? "I see a goose ring a hog, Fie! man, fie! I see a goose ring a hog, Who's the foole now? I see a goose ring a hog, And a snayle that did bite a dog; Thou hast well drunken, man, Who's the foole now? "I see a mouse catch the cat, Fie! man, fie! I see a mouse catch the cat, Who's the foole now? I see a mouse catch the cat, And the cheese to eate the rat; Thou hast well drunken, man, Who's the foole now?" EDWARD F.
