They loved lofty full, and no wronger than truly, In the time of the year In the time of the year comes twixt May and July. Quoth he, "Most lovely maid, my troth shall ay endure, And be not thou afraid, but rest thee still secure. That I will love thee long as life in me shall last: Now I am strong and young Now I am strong and young and when my youth is past. "When I am gray and old, and then must stoop to age, I'll love thee twenty-fold, my troth I here engage. She listen'd to his song, and heard it with a smile, And innocent as young And innocent as young, she dreamed not of guile. No guile was meant by Will, for he was true as steel, As was there naught deceit when she made him a will. Full soon both two were wed, and these most faithful lovers Base are but born and bred Base are but born and bred, example to all others. All in a garden green, two lovers sat at ease, As they could scarce be seen among the leafy trees. .
