Subject(s): Seasons; Soldiers
SUMMER'S the time for soldierhood,
Or Spryng when all the grass is high
And sunbeams make old Winter fly:
The chargers then fynde forage good,
And ground is smooth wheron to lie.
Summer's the time for soldierhood,
Or Spryng when all the grass is high.
Then snowe is thawn from wold and wood,
And pilgryms synge as they goe bye.
Then take thy speare with shield a-nigh,
Summer's the time for soldierhood,
Or Spryng when all the grass is high
And sunbeams make old Winter fly.
