Whosoever did win thou would not lose;

Wherefore all England doth hate thee, I suppose,

Because thou wast false to the redolent rose.

Sing troll on away, sing troll on away.

Thou mightest have learned thy cloth to flock

Upon thy greasy fuller’s stock;

Wherefore lay down thy head upon this block.

Sing troll on away, sing troll on away.33

Songs could therefore be political and provocative, or simply a form of advertising, but they were ubiquitous in the streets of premodern Europe. Lyrics and familiar tunes were deliberately exploited to encourage specific emotions in their listeners – fury at those who threatened the body politic, shock at the disastrous news from abroad, or simply the desire for juicy melons – and those emotional responses were often closely tied to the places in which the songs were heard.
