The next stroke that Lord Barnard stroke,
Little Musgrave ne'er struck more.
With that bespake this fair lady,
In bed whereas she lay;
"Although thou'rt dead, thou little Musgrave,
Yet I for thee will pray;
"And wish well to thy soul will I,
So long as I have life;
So will I not for thee, Barnard,
Although I am thy wedded wife."
