I am no king, and I am no lord,
And I am no soldier at-arms, said he.
I'm none but a harper, and a very poor harper,
That am come hither to wed with ye.
If you were a lord, you should be my lord,
And the same if you were a thief, said she.
And if you are a harper, you shall be my harper,
For it makes no matter to me, to me,
For it makes no matter to me.
But what if it prove that I am no harper?
That I lied for your love most monstrously?
Why, then I'll teach you to play and sing,
For I dearly love a good harp, said she.
