And unto this maiden in anger did say,
"This ring in the water I'll now throw away;
Pray look on it well, the posey is plain,
And when you see it may know it again.
"I charge you for life, ne'er come more in my sight,
For if you do, I shall owe you a spite;
Unless that you bring the same ring unto me."
With that, he let the ring drop into the sea:
Which when he had done, from the maid he did go,
And left her to wander in sorrow and woe.
