1.
How should I your true love know
from another ōne*?
By his cockle hat and staff
and his sandal sho͟on.
2.
He is dead and gone, ladȳ;
he is dead and gone.
At his head a grass-green turf;
at his heels a stone.
3.
White his shroud as the mountain snow
larded with sweet flow’rs,
Which bewept to the ground did not go
with true-love show’rs.
