TRANSLATION.

One summer morn, as I was seeking
My ponies in their green retreat,
I heard a lady sing a ditty
To me which sounded strangely sweet:

_I am the ladye_, _I am the ladye_,
_I am the ladye loving the knight_;
_I in the green wood_, '_neath the green branches_,
_In the night season sleep with the knight_.

Since yonder summer morn of beauty
I've seen full many a gloomy year;
But in my mind still lives the ditty
That in the green wood met my ear:

_I am the ladye_, _I am the ladye_,
_I am the ladye loving the knight_;
_I in the green wood_, '_neath the green branches_,
_In the night season sleep with the knight_.

A second Manuscript of this _Translation_ has the 'ditty'
arranged in eight lines, instead of in four. In this MS.
the word _ladye_ is spelled in the conventional manner:

_I am the lady_,
_I am the lady_,
_I am the lady_
_Loving the knight_;
_I in the greenwood_,
'_Neath the green branches_,
_Through the night season_
_Sleep with the knight_.

_Note_.--Each poem to which no reference is attached appeared for the
first time in this volume.

There is a copy of _Marsk Stig's Daughters and other Songs and Ballads_
in the Library of the British Museum. The Press-mark is C. 44. d. 38.
