How, butler, how

How, butler, how!
Bevis a tout!
O fill the boll, jentill butler,
And let the cup rout!

Gentill butler, bellamy,
Fill the boll by the eye,
That we may drink by and by,
With ‘ How, butler, how!
Bevis a tout!
Fill the boll, butler,
And let the cup rout!’

Here is meté for us all,
Both for grete and for small.
I trow we must the butler call,
With ‘ How, butler, how!’

I am so dry I cannot speke;
I am nigh chokéd with my mete;
I trow the butler be aslepe.
With ‘ How, butler, how!’

Butler, butler, fill the boll,
Or ellés I beshrewe thy noll.
I trow we must the bell toll,
With ‘ How, butler, how!’

If the butler’s name be Water,
I wold he were a galow claper;
But if he bring us drink, the rather
With ‘ How, butler, how!’
