King Charles, and who'll do him right now? <br /> King Charles, and who's ripe for fight now? <br /> Give a rouse: here's, in Hell's despite now, <br /> King Charles! <br /> <br /> Who gave me the goods that went since? <br /> Who raised me the house that sank once? <br /> Who helped me to gold I spent since? <br /> Who found me in wine you drank once? <br />(Chorus) <br /> King Charles, and who'll do him right now? <br /> King Charles, and who's ripe for fight now? <br /> Give a rouse: here's, in Hell's despite now, <br /> King Charles! <br /> To whom used my boy George quaff else, <br /> By the old fool's side that begot him? <br /> For whom did he cheer and laugh else, <br /> While Noll's damned troopers shot him? <br />(Chorus) <br /> King Charles, and who'll do him right now? <br /> King Charles, and who's ripe for fight now? <br /> Give a rouse: here's, in Hell's despite now, <br /> King Charles!<br /><br />Robert Browning<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cavalier-tunes-give-a-rouse/
