For while sir William rov'd as here express'd,
Another "Sir," his lady thus address'd:—
"Sir William's gone, (ne'er to return again)
Past this world's end, which long he sought in vain,
There's not a doubt he's found the end of life;
But don't be troubled; you shall be my wife."
She listen'd, till at length she gave consent,
And straightway to church then this couple went.
Sir William does about this wedding hear,
As he unto his journey's end draws near;
