_And the cuckoo also_!

'Where be ye, my merry maidens,
That ye come not me to?
The jolly windows of my bower
Look that you undo,
_That I may see_!

'For I have in mine arms
A duke or else an earl.'
But when she looked him upon,
He was a blear-eyed churl.
_'Alas!' she said._

13.
She led him to an hill,
And hanged should he be.
He juggled himself to a meal-pock;
The dust fell in her eye;
_Beguiled she was_.

14.
God and our Lady
And sweet Saint Joham
Send every giglot of this town
Such another leman,
_Even as he was_!
