Here’s been the knight of Wallington asking good-will of thee.
Here’s been the knight [of Wallington] mother, asking good-will of me;
Within three-quarters of a year you may come bury me.
When she came to Wallington, and into Wallington-hall,
There she spy’d her mother dear walking about the wall.
You’re welcome, daughter dear, to thy castle and thy bower.
I thank you kindly, mother, I hope they’ll soon be your’s.
She had not been in Wallington three-quarters and a day,
Till upon the ground she could not walk, she was a weary prey;
She had not been in Wallington three-quarters and a night,
