The music is based on the score in Popular Music of the Olden Time (William Chapell, 1859). The song was known by 1584 (Delone wrote a contrafact to it).
All you that news would hear. Give ear to me, poor Fabyn Fly At Rome I was this year, And in the Pope his nose did lie; But there I could no long abide He blew me out of ev'ry side For first when he had heard the news That rebels did their prince misuse Then he wish joy Did sport himself with many a toy He then so stout That from his nose he blew me out.
