I might have had a king’s daughter,

Had it not been for love o thee.”

“If ye might have had a king’s daughter,

Yer sel ye had to blame;

Ye might have taken the king’s daughter,

For ye kend that I was nane.

“If I was to leave my husband dear,

And my two babes also,

O what have you to take me to,

If with you I should go?”
