Then be constant and kind, nor your Molly forsake,

Still your trowsers I’ll wash, and your grog too, I’ll make.


The Knightly Guerdon.

Untrue to my Ulric I never could be,

I vow by the saints and the blessed Marie,

Since the desolate hour when we stood by the shore,

And your dark galley waited to carry you o’er:

My faith then I plighted, my love I confess’d,

As I gave you the Battle-axe marked with your crest!
