Seeft thou not yonder hall, Ellen ?
Of red golde mines the towre
There are twenty four fayre ladyes there,
The fayreit is my paramoure. Sq,
I fee the hall now, Childe Waters,
Of red golde mines the yate :
God give you good now of yourfelfe,
And of your worthye mate.
I fee the hall now, Childe Waters, 85
Of red golde mines the towre :
God give you good now of yourfelfe,
And of your paramoure.
There twenty four fayre ladyes were
A playing at the ball
And Ellen the fayreft ladye there,
Mull bring his fleed to the flail.
There twenty four fayre ladyes were,
A playinge at the chelTe
And Ellen the fayreft ladye there,
Mull bring his horfe to graiTe.
And then befpake Childe Waters fifter,
Thefe were the wordes fayd Ihee
You have the prettyefl page, brother,
