236 MINSTRELSY OF
LADY ANNE.
Fair Lady Anne sate in her bower,
Down by the greenwood side,
And the flowers did spring, and the birds did sing,
'Twas the pleasant May-day tide.
But fair Lady Anne on Sir William callVi,
With the tear grit in her e'e,
" O though thou be fause, may heaven thee guard,
" In the wars ayont the sea V
Out of the wood came three bonnie boys,
Upon the simmer's morn,
And they did sing, and play at the ba'.
As naked as they were born.
