[Yonder comes a courteous Knight]
[1]
Yonder comes a courteous Knight,Lustely raking ouer the lay,
He was well ware of a bonny lasse,
as she came wandring ouer the way,
Then she sang downe a downe,
hey downe derry, then she, &c.
2
Ioue you speed fayre Lady, he said,among the leaues that be so greene:
If I were a king and wore a Crowne,
full soone faire Lady shouldst thou be a queen.
Then she sang, downe, &c.
3
Also Ioue saue you faire Lady;among the Roses that be so red:
If I haue not my will of you,
full soone faire Lady shall I be dead.
Then she sang. &c.
4
Then he lookt East, then hee lookt West,hee lookt North, so did he South:
He could not finde a priuy place,
for all lay in the Diuels mouth.
Then she sang, &c.
5
If you will carry me gentle sir,a mayde vnto my fathers hall:
Then you shall haue your will of me,
vnder purple and vnder paule.
Then she sang, &c.
6
He set her vp vpon a Steed,and himselfe vpon another:
And all the day he rode her by,
as though they had beene sister and brother.
Then she sang, &c.
7
When she came to her fathers hall,it was well walled round about:
She yode in at the wicket gate,
and shut the foure ear'd foole without.
Then she sang, &c.
8
You had me (quoth she) abroad in the field,among the corne amidst the hay:
Where you might had your will of mee,
for, in good faith sir, I neuer said nay.
Then she sang, &c.
9
Ye had me also amid the field,among the rushes that were so browne:
Where you might had your will of me,
but you had not the face to lay me downe.
Then she sang, &c.
10
He pulled out his nut-browne sword,and wipt the rust off with his sleeue:
And said; Ioues curse come to his heart,
that any woman would beleeue.
Then she sang, &c.
11
When you haue your owne true loue,a mile or twaine out of the towne,
Spare not for her gay clothing,
but lay her body flat on the ground.
Then she sang, &c.
