Here's how the song appears in "King Arthur", Act V, Scene 1, in The Works of John Dryden: Now First Collected in Eighteen Volumes ..., Vol. VIII (London: William Miller, 1808), page 174:


Enter COMUS, with three Peasants, who sing the following Song in Parts.

Com. Your hay it is mow'd, and your corn is reaped;
Your barns will be full, and your hovels heaped:
Come, my boys, come;
Come, my boys, come;
And merrily roar out harvest home;
Harvest home,
Harvest home;
And merrily roar out harvest home.

Chor. Come, my boys, come, &c.

1 Man. We ha' cheated the parson, we'll cheat him again,
For why should a blockhead ha' one in ten?
One in ten,
One in ten;
For why should a blockhead ha' one in ten?

2 Man. For prating so long like a book-learned sot,
Till pudding and dumpling burn to pot,
Burn to pot,
Burn to pot;
Till pudding and dumpling burn to pot.

Chor. Burn to pot, &c.

3 Man. We'll toss off our ale till we cannot stand,
And hoigh for the honour of old England:
Old England,
Old England;
And hoigh for the honour of old England.

Chor. Old England, &c.

[The Dance varied into a round Country-dance.
