[154. Lady Alice]
I
Lady Alice was sitting in her bower-window,
Mending her midnight quoif,
And there she saw as fine a corpse
As ever she saw in her life.

‘What bear ye, what bear ye, ye six men tall?
What bear ye on your shouldèrs?’—
‘We bear the corpse of Giles Collins,
An old and true lover of yours.’—
