Now hur hath mark'd what hath been past
now mark but this one thing.
The man and maid came by at last
that lost this gay gold ring:
How glad was hur then in the end,
though hur was but a thief,
Hur hop'd that hur would stand hur friend
to ease hur of hur grief,
Hur shentleman, hur pray hur stay,
and likewise hur fair maid,
Did not hur lose hur fine gold ring?
regard hur what hur said:
They wondered how he came to know
how she could lose the ring,
Nor did they know what they should do,
for to regale this thing.
Have you the ring kind man? quoth they,
tell us if that you took it,
Hur had the ring as hur may say,
but now hur may go look for it.
A woman cheared hur of it,
hur kept such grievous slurs,
For want of honesty and wit,
hur justice said it was hurs;
And can you tell where she doth dwell,
that wrought us this despite;
For ought hur knows hur lives in hell,
she's such a wicked wight.
A little boy now standing by,
told them where she did live,
now mark but this one thing.
