"Come, fill me flagons full and fair
Of red wine and of white,
And, maidens mine, my bower prepare-
It is my wedding night.
"And braid my hair with jewels bright,
And make me fair and fine-
This is the day that brings the night
When my desire is mine."
They decked her bower with roses blown,
With rushes strewed the floor,
And sewed more jewels on her gown
Than ever she wore before.
