Original

According to Hawkins and others the song is a satire on the drunken Flemings who came to England with Anne of Cleves on her marriage to King Henry VIII, but both Cornysh and Skelton had died over a decade before that event. The OED indicates that "rutterkin" means "a swaggering gallant or bully" and that "hoyda" or "heyday" is "an exclamation of gaiety or amusement".
