3   "I fear that my ruin forever you'll prove Unless you turn all your hatred to love." "No hatred to you nor to no other man. But this, for to love you is more than I can.
4  "So end all your sorrow and drop your discourse, I never will have you unless I am forced."
Six months had appeared and five years had passed, I heard of this damsel's misfortune at last.
5   She lay wounded by love and she knew not for why And sent for this young man who she once did deny. By her bedside those words they was said,
"There's a pain in your side, love, there's a pain in your head."
6  "Oh, no, kind sir, the right you've not guessed,
The pain that I feel here sits all through my breast." "Am I your doctor and am I your cure? Am I your pertector you sent for me here?"
7  "You are my doctor and you are my cure 3 Without your pertection I'll die, I am sure." "O Saro, O Saro, O Saro," said he,
"Don't you remember when I first courted thee?
8   "I asked you in kindness, you answered in scorn, And now I'll reward you for the time past and gone." "Time past and gone I hope you'll forgive
And grant me some longer in comfort to live."
9  "I'll never forgive you as long as I live;
I'll dance on your grave, love, when you're laid in the ground."
Off of her fingers gold rings she pulled three,
Said, "Take them and wear them while you're dancing on me."
10 "Adieu to my friends, adieu, all around,
Adieu to my true love, God make him a crown; I'll freely forgive him although he won't me, My follies ttn thousand times over I see."
[161]
