` Are you sure ? ' said Puck ; and he leaned forward and whispered to Sir Richard , who , smiling , bowed his head . ` But what befell the sword and my brother Hugh I will tell on another time , ' said he , rising . ` Ohé , Swallow ! ' The great horse cantered up from the far end of the meadow , close to Mother . They heard Mother say : ` Children , Gleason 's old horse has broken into the meadow again . Where did he get through ? ' ` Just below Stone Bay , ' said Dan . ` He tore down simple flobs of the bank ! We noticed it just now . And we 've caught no end of fish . We 've been at it all the afternoon . ' And they honestly believed that they had . They never noticed the Oak , Ash and Thorn leaves that Puck had slyly thrown into their laps . SIR RICHARD 'S SONG I followed my Duke ere I was a lover , To take from England fief and fee ; But now this game is the other way over -- But now England hath taken me ! I had my horse , my shield and banner , And a boy 's heart , so whole and free ; But now I sing in another manner -- But now England hath taken me ! As for my Father in his tower , Asking news of my ship at sea ; He will remember his own hour -- Tell him England hath taken me ! As for my Mother in her bower , That rules my Father so cunningly ; She will remember a maiden 's power -- Tell her England hath taken me ! As for my Brother in Rouen city , A nimble and naughty page is he ; But he will come to suffer and pity -- Tell him England hath taken me ! As for my little Sister waiting In the pleasant orchards of Normandie ; Tell her youth is the time of mating -- Tell her England hath taken me !
As for my Comrades in camp and highway , That lift their eyebrows scornfully ; Tell them their way is not my way -- Tell them XXXXX hath taken me !
