He spied his sport, and went away;

And brought the king that very night,

Who brake my bower, and slew my knight.

He slew my knight, to me sae dear;

He slew my knight, and poin'd[[A]] his gear;

My servants all for life did flee,

And left me in extremitie.

I sew'd his sheet, making my mane;

I watched the corpse, myself alane;

I watched his body, night and day;
