THere was a shepherds daughter, came triping on the way, And there she met a courteous knight which caused her to stay. Sing trang dil do lee. Good morow to you you beautious maid, these words pronounced he O I shall dye this day he said if I have not my will of thee. Trang, etc. The Lord forbid the Maid replyd that such a thing should be, That ever such acourteous yong knight should dye for love of me. Sing trang, etc. He took her by the middle so small, and laid her down on the plain, And after he had had his will, he took her up again. Trang dang.
Now you have had your will good sir and put my body thus to shame, Even as you are a courteous Knight tel me what is your name? trang dil do le. Some men do call me Jack sweet heart and some do call me John. But when I come to the Kings Court they call me sweet William. Sing trang dang. He set his foot in the stirrop and away then did he ride, She tuckt her Kirtle abeut her middle and run close by his side. Sing trang. But when she came to the broad water. she set her brest and swom, And when she was got out again, she took her heels and run. Sing trang. He never was the courteous Knight to say fair maid will you ride. Nor she never was so loving a Maid to say sir knight abide. Sing trang, but when she came to the kings fair cour[t] she knocked at the Ring, So ready was the King himself to let this fair Maid in. Sing trang, O Christ you save my gracious Leige, your body Christ save and see. You have got a knight within your court this day hath robbed me. Trang. What hath he robbed thee of fair Maid of purple or of pall, Or hath he took thy gay gold ring, from off thy fingers small. Trang.
HE hath not robbed me my Liege of purple nor of pall. But he hath got my Maiden head which grieves me worst of all. Sing trang. Now if he be a Batchelor his body Ile give to thee, But if he be a married man high hanged shall he be: Trang dil do le. He called down his merry men all, by one, by two, and by three, Sweet William was usd to be the first, but now the last comes hee, trang dil do le. He brought her down full forty pound tyd up with a Glove. Fair Maid I give the same to the and seek another Love. Seng trang. O Ile have none of your gold she said nor Ile have none of your fee. But I must have your fair body, the King hath given me. trang. Sweet William ran and fetcht her then, five hundred pound in gold, Saying fair maid take this unto thee thy fault[e] will never be told. Btrang.
Tis not your gold that shall me tempt these words then answered she But I must have your own body, so the King hath granted me. Sing trang. Would I had drank the fair water when I did drink the wine That ever any shepherds Daughter should be a fair Lady of mine. sing trang Would I had Drunk the puddle water when I did Drink the Ale That ever any shepherds daughter should have told me such a tale. Sing trang, A Shepheards Daughter as I was, you might have let me be, Id never come to the Kings fair Court to have craved any Love of thee, trang, etc: He set her on a Milk-white Steed, and himselfe upon a Gray, He hung a Bugle about his neck, and so they rode away: trang, etc: But when they came unto the place, where Marriage rights were done, She provd herself a Dukes daughter, and he but a Squires Son. trang. Now you have married me sir Knight your pleasures may be free, If you make me Lady of one good Town Ile make you Lord of three. trang. Accursed be the gold he said if thou hadst not bin true; That should have parted thee from me to have changd thee for a new trang. Their hearts being then to linked fast, and joyning hand in hand, He had both purse and person too and all at his command. trang dil' do lee.
