15 'Oh will I kill her, nurice,
or will I let her be?'
'Kill her, dear Lammikin,
she was never gude to me.'
16 'Oh wanted you meat, nurice?
or wanted you fee?
Or wanted you anything
that a lady can gie?'
17 'I wanted no meat, lady,
nor wanted I fee,
But I wanted mony a thing
that a lady could gie.'

1 My lord said to my lady,
when he went from home,
Take care of Long Longkin,
he lies in the lone.
2 My lady said to my lord,
when he went abroad,
. . . . . . .
. . . . . . .
3 'I care not for Longkin,
nor none of his kin,
For my gate 's fast barrd,
and my windows shut in.'
4 My lord was not gone
many miles from the place,
Untill the false Longkin
came straight to the place.
