SIGNELIL A TALE FROM THE CORNISH AND OTHER BALLADS

BY GEORGE BORROW

LONDON: PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION 1913

SIGNELIL

"Erewhile was thy cheek as the blooming rose red, But now thou art pale, even pale as the dead."

"To conceal the truth longer 'tis vain to essay, My gallant young master has led me astray."

"And if the young noble has led thee astray, Say, what gave he thee for thy virtue in pay?"

"He gave to me shoes were gold spangled all o'er, And them have I worn with affliction so sore.

"He gave to me also of silk a soft shift, And with sorrow most painful I've worn the fair gift.

"He gave me, Christ sain him! a gold ring so fine, Whose match I can see on no finger of thine."

"But what will avail thee his presents of price, If he thee will not wed before God and men's eyes?"
