Francis James Child

“ Tho it were good merks three;'
'But never a penny,' said the merry merchant,
'But shot, as it fa's me.
'A bed, a bed,' said the merry merchant,
'It's time to go to rest;'
'And that ye shall,' said the good goodwife,
'And your covrings o the best.'
Then Jock the Leg in one chamber was laid,
The merchant in another,
And lockfast door atween them twa,
That the one might not see the other. ”
