Full and good looking was the gentleman ,
Who waited for me in the lane !
I repent that I did not go with him .

A splendid gentleman was he ,
Who waited for me in the hall !
I regret that I did not accompany him .

Over my embroidered upper robe , I have put on a [plain] single garment ;
Over my embroidered lower robe , I have done the same .
O Sir , O Sir ,
Have your carriage ready to take me home with you .

Over my embroidered lower robe , I have put on a [plain] single garment ;

O Sir , O Sir ,
