A galliard is a fairly rapid dance that shares some vague similarities with the two-step. The music is based on the score in Popular Music of the Olden Time (William Chapell, 1859); this is the first stanza from Delone's contrafact to it.
You parents whose affection fond Unto your children doth appear mark well the story now in hand Wherein you shall great matters hear And learn by this which shall be told To hold your children stilli n awe Least otherwise they prove too bold And set not by your state a straw.
