118. If you had been what you should have been.
114. I would not have.
For 12-14:
'There is a horse in my father's stable,
He stands beyond the thorn;
He shakes his head above the trough,
But dares not prey the corn.
'There is a bird in my father's flock,
A double comb he wears;
He flaps his wings, and crows full loud,
But a capon's crest he bears.
'There is a flower in my father's garden,
They call it marygold;
The fool that will not when he may,
He shall not when he wold.'
Said the shepherd's son, as he doft his shoon,
My feet they shall run bare,
And if ever I meet another maid,
I rede that maid beware.
