( 3 ) Your beauty so entises me,

I could not pass you by,

So with my gun I’ll gaurdguard [sic] you

all on the mountains high.

This pretty little young thing,

she stood all in amaze,

With eyes as bright as amber,

she did upon me gaze;

Her cherry cheeks, and ruby lips,

they loft their former dye,

So she fell into my arms

all on the mountains high.

But when I kiss’d her once or twice,

she then came to again,

And said kind sir be civil,

and tell me what’s your name.

If you'd-go to younder forest,

my castle there you’ll find,

Well wrote in ancient history,

my name is Ormordine.

He says my pretty fair maid,

don’t let your parents know,
