A Sailor new come over:  
And in this Ship with him those of such fame  
The like of them, mere unto England came,  
Men of such quality and parts most rare,  
Reading this Ditty, will show you what they are.  
To the tune of A Sailor new come over.

This to be true you need not doubt,

And by his valorous courage stout  

The Emperor's force did weaken,

A jew is come from Venice,  
plays curiously at Tennis,  
Has costly jewels rich and rare,

Will to his Chamber make repair,  

Which he brought in a Pinnace,  
When as he came from Venice.    

Likewise a Turk, and Grecian,

All in a Ship, together be,

The second part

●●kewise a famous Painter,  
a story that can paint to life,  
For to convert the lewdest wife,  
that ever wrought her husband's grief,  

You never see a quainter  
Then is this famous Painter.    

He is skilled in Negromancy  
to make a young man faincy,  
A woman live she North or South,  
that in her head hath ne'er a tooth,  
Decrepit, blind, and lame both,  

yet her that he shall fancy,  
by this his Negromancy.    

If you will not believe me,  
or rightly can conceive me,  
To credit that this same is true,  
I formerly have sung to you,  
To singing I will bid adieu,  

And at this time give over,  
To see these sights at Dover.
