 Which of theſe men they aſk'd her then,

that ſhould her husband be!

But ſcornfully ſhe did reply,

I'll wed none of the three.

Since it is ſo, where ſhall we go

a match for thee to find?

That is ſo fair and beautiful

that none can ſuit thy mind.

With ſcorn and pride ſhe anſwer made;

you'll ne'er chooſe one for me,

Nor will I wed againſt my mind,

for all their high degree.

The brave Agnew whoſe heart was true,

a ſolemn vow did make,

Never to love a woman more,

all for that Lady's ſake.

Which griev'd her tender parents dear,

to judgement ſhe was blind;

To counſel this Lady was deaf,

and troubled ſore their mind.

From the Iſle of Man a Courter came,

and a falſe young man was he

With ſubtile heart and flattering tongue,

to court that fair Lady.

This young man was a bold out-law,

a robber and a thief,

But ſoon he gain'd that Lady's heart,

which cauſed all that grief.
