2. I have been ready at your hand,
To grant whatever you would crave ;
I have both waged life and land,
Your love and goodwill for to have.
3. I bought thee petticoats of the best,
The cloth so fine as it might be;
I gave thee jewels for thy chest,
And all this cost I spent on thee.
4. Well I will pray to God on high,
That thou my constancy mayst see,
For I am thy lover true,
Come once again and love me.
