| I know when milk does flies contain; | |
| I know men by their bravery; | |
| I know fair days from storm and rain; | |
| And what fruit apple-trees supply; | |
| And from their gums the trees descry; | |
| I know when all things smoothly flow; | |
| I know who toil or idly lie; | |
| All things except myself I know. | |
| I know the doublet by the grain; | |
| The monk beneath the hood can spy; | |
| Master from man can ascertain; | |
| I know the nun’s veiled modesty; | |
| I know when sportsmen fables ply; | |
| Know fools who creams and dainties stow; | |
| Wine from the butt I certify; | |
| All things except myself I know. | |
| Know horse from mule by tail and mane; | |
| I know their worth or high or low; | |
| Bell, Beatrice, I know the twain; | |
| I know each chance of cards and die; | |
| I know what visions prophesy, | |
| Bohemian heresies, I trow; | |
| I know men of each quality; | |
| All things except myself I know. | |
| Prince, I know all things ’neath the sky, | |
| Pale cheeks from those of rosy glow; | |
| I know death whence no man can fly; | |
| All things except myself I know. |
