THE SQUIRE AND LADY

THE squire he roams the good greenwood,

And shoots the pheasant and the hare;

Thou sleep’st with him in good green wood,

And dost for him the game-sack bear.

I see, I see upon the tree

The little male and female dove;

Below the tree I see, I see

The lover and his lady love.
