 She said, You are welcome, feed heartily I pray,

And if you are willing, with me you shall stay,

So long as I live; then he made this reply,

I only am come, thy love for to try.

Thro’ mercy my child, I’m rich and not poor,

I have gold and silver enough now in store,

And for the love which at thy hand I have found,

For a portion I’ll give thee ten thousand pound.

So in a few days after as I understand,

This man he went home and sold off all his land,

And ten thousand pounds to his daughter did give,

And then altogether in love they did live.
