A Song (continued)
“Lord Levette he stood at his own stable door ¶ And mounted his milk white steed”
(continued from previous page)6
he rode into St Mary Church and from that to Eirinns square .He heard the sound of a dead bell and maidens mourning there.
What aileth thee my pretty fair maid
What aileth thee my pretty fair maid
What aileth thee he said
is any of your friends that's leaving home
or is it any that's dead.
7
O yes o yes the maiden replied
the kings daughter is dead.
She died for the sake of an noble man
Lord Levette they called his name.
