Lordings, right thus, as ye have understand, Bare I stiffly mine old husbands on hand, 1885 That thus they saiden in their drunkenness; And all was false, but that I took witness On Jenkin, and upon my niece also. O Lord! the pain I did them, and the woe, Full guiltëless, by Goddë’s sweetë pine; 1886 For as a horse I couldë bite and whine; I couldë plain, 1887 an’ 1888 I was in the guilt, Or ellës oftentime I had been spilt. 1889 Whoso first cometh to the mill, first grint; 1890 I plained first, so was our war y-stint. 1891 They were full glad to excuse them full blive 1892 Of things that they never aguilt their live.
