"Lie still, lie still, Litde Matthew Grove, And keep me from the cold, It's nothing but my father's shepherd, ||: Blowing of his sheep to the fold." :||
13 From that they fell to hugging and kissing, From that they fell asleep, And when they waked up they saw Lord Daniel, ||: He stood at their bed-feet. :||
H "How do you like your pillow, sir,
How do you like your sheet,
How do you like the gay ladye, ||: That lies in your arms and sleeps?'' :||
»5 "Very well I like your pillow, sir,
Very well I like your sheet,
Much better I like your gay ladye, ||: That lies in my arms and sleeps." :|t
16 "Get up, get up, Little Matthew Grove, Get up and put on your clothes, It never shall be said in this wide world, ||: A naked man I slew." :||
. I7* "You have two bright swords,'' he said,
"Me not so much as a knife."
"You may take the very best sword,
||: And I will take the worst." :||

"You may take the very first lick,
And make it like a man,
And I will take the very next lick,
||: And kill you if lean." :||
19
Little Matthew Grove struck the very first lick,
Lord Daniel struck the floor,
Lord Daniel took the very next lick, ||: Little Matthew Grove struck no more. :|| 20*
He took the ladye all by the hand,
Says: "Come sit on my knee,
Which of these men, you love the best, ||: Little Matthew Grove or me?" :||
21* "How do you like his rosy cheek,
How do you like his chin,
How do you like Little Matthew Grove, ||: Who now lies dead for his sin?" :||
"Very well I like his rosy cheek,
Very well I like his chin,
Much better I love Little Matthew Grove ||: Than you and all your kin!" :|| |
