Tower Warders	When our gallant Norman foes	We may succeed - who can foretell?	I have a song to sing, O!
Wouldst thou earn an hundred crowns?	For thou wouldst make a most tender and loving wife	Elsie faints in Fairfax's arms	How fares thy pretty charge, Elsie Maynard?
Elsie, I have loved thee these two days	Hail the valiant fellow who did this deed of derring-do!	It is purely a matter of skill, which all may attain if they will	Oh, thoughtless crew! Ye know not what ye do!
