But then, at last, a grocer's son,
A courting to this maiden went,
Who, in a short time, for truth we hear,
Brought this young maiden to consent;
For to be his lawful bride,
If that her parents would agree;
"Or else, my love, I ne'er must yield,
Indeed, my dear, your bride to be."
With that he to her parents went,
To ask of them their free good will,
