 For I wiil not go to your bed

till you tell me questions four

Questions four you must tell me,

and that is twa and twa

Or I will not lie in your bed,

neither at stock nor wa’.

You must get me some winter fruit,

that in December grew;

And I must have a silken mantle

that waft was ne'er cad through;

What bird sings first? what wood buds first?

what dew does on them fa'.

And then I’ll lie in your bed,

either at stock or wa‘.

My father has winter fruit,

that in December grew;

My mother has a silk mantle,

that waft was ne‘er ca'd through;

The cock crows, cider buds first,

the dew does on them fa‘:

So we shall both lie into ae bed

and thou s lie next the wa'.

Hold away from me kind sir,

and do not me perplex;

For I'll not lie in your bed,

Till you answer questions six

Questions six you must answer me,

and that is four and twa,
