This myller hath ſo wiſely bybbed ale / That as an horſe he ſnorteth in hys ſlepe / Ne of hys tayle behynde he toke no kepe / His wyfe bare to hym a bordon wel ſtrong / Men might hem here route a forlonge.

This miller hath so wisely bibbed ale / That as an horse he snorteth in his sleep / Nor of his tail behind he took no keep / His wife bore to him a burden [phrase or theme recurring in a ballad or folk song at the end of each verse] well strong / Men might him hear rout [snore] a furlong.]
