Or is it sic as a saikless maid
And a leal true Knight may swim?”
“The water it is deep,” she said,
“As it is wondrous dun;
But it is sic as a saikless maid
And a leal true Knight may swim.”
The Knight spurred on his tall black steed;
The Lady spurred on her brown;
And fast they rade into the flood,
And fast they baith swam down.
