My foot is muddy, O my lord,
And so's the handle of my sword
I stand amid a ragged horde
Before the door of your demesne

The mossy stones in your great walls
Can hardly deaden frighted calls
Ringing down dark and sooty halls
Today your serfs I do convene

We do not hanker for your swine
Nor do we come to steal your kine
And we care little for your wine
A writ we carry from your Queen

Your liege and monarch now commands
That you cede title to your lands
The deed secur'd into my hands
Abased, my Lord, and by all seen

Tomorrow will be feasting day
And your seneschal will obey
And cater to us eve'ry way
As will your daughter Katharine

Among your hogs you shall now lie
And crawl around in mud most fie
Your wife will feed you in the sty
That is from now on your desmesne

;-) Phil
