"See how she comes to bring surprise ..." is the second stanza, which Chappell quoted in his Popular Music of the Olden Time, vol. 2 (pp. 719-20). He says, "The words are printed in The Bullfinch and other collections of songs, as well as one of the engraved portraits." The words were virtually unknown in the middle of the 19th century, since someone asked for them in Notes & Queries in 1860 (Click here, for more verses).
