I ne'er made a vow to yonder poor corpse,

By day nor yet by night.

'Deal on, deal on, my merry-men all;

Deal on your cake and your wine:

For whatever is dealt at her funeral to-day,

Shall be dealt to-morrow at mine.'

Fair Margaret died to-day, to-day,

Sweit William died to-morrow;

Fair Margaret died for pure true love,

Sweit William died for sorrow.
