 And you are desir’d, my lord, he says,

to send down a cup of wine with me.

He hit the table with his f ot,

he kep’d it with his right knee,

I'll wed my life and all my land,

that is Susan Py come the sea.

He has gone unto the stair-head,

a step he t k but barely three,

He open’d the gates most speedily,

and Susan Py he there c uld see.

Is this the way young Bichen. she says,

is this the way you've guided me!

I relieved you from prison strong,

and ill have you reward'd me.

O mind ye young Bichen, she say

the vows and oaths that ye made to me.

When ye lay bound in prison strong,

in a deep dungeon of misery!

He took her by the milk-white hand,

and led'her into the palace fine,

There was not a lady in all the pa

b Susan Py did all outshine!

The day c ncluded with joy and mirth,

on every side there might you see.

There was great joy in all England,

wedding day of Susan Py.
