Now have good day, now have good day.
I am Shrovetide, and now I go my way.
But oftentimes I have heard say
That one is loath to part away
That often biddeth "have good day",
Now have good day.
I take my leave of king and knight,
And earl, baron, and lady bright,
To wilderness I must be dight,
Now have good day.
And from the good lord of this hall,
I take my leave, and of guests all:
Methinks I hear Lent doth call,
Now have good day.
