	THE HAPPY CLOWN (THE HAPPY FARMER.)
	2. " Lord's sake, Lord's sake," the clown outspake. " What death's-head knave is this, I pray, That through our merry monarch's woods Goes blackening the May ? " Thereat beguiled, King Harry smiled, And joked him so from heel to crown. Well done ! " the jester cried, "Thou should'st have been the clown ! "
