Now Sir John Barleycorn and his brother Malt marched of together in triumph, and for joy that they got to well off, they went along ſinging the following ſong.
A New Song.
ALL you who are good fellows,
Come listen unto me,
If do love the alehouſe,
And keep good company.
My name is Sir John Barleycorn,
Which many know full well,
My brother's name is Maſter Malt,
As many one can tell.
Tho' Smut the honeſt blackſmith,
Of me doth ſore complain,
Ere long I know I ſhall not miſs
To ſhoot him thro' the brain.
