Fair Isabel, the one did say, Thou hast subdu'd my heart this day, But she's my joy, did Musgrave say, My bright and bonny lass. OLD BALLADS. Ill With that these friends incontinent, Became most deadly foes, For love of beauteous Isabel, Great strife betwixt them rose : Quoth Armstrong, she shall be my wife, Although for her I lose my life ; And thus began a deadly strife, And for one bonny lass. Thus two years long this grudge did grow, These gallant knights between, While they a wooing both d...id go, Unto this beauteous queen. And she who did their furies prove, To neither would bewray her love, The deadly quarrel to remove, About this bonny lass. But neither for her fair intreats, Nor yet her sharp dispute, Would they appease their raging ire Nor yet give o'er their suit. The gentlemen of the North country, At last did make this good decree, All for a perfect unity, About this bonny lass. 112 OLD BALLADS. The love-sick knights should be set, Within one hall so wide, Each of them in a gallant sort Even at a several tide : And 'twixt them both for certainty, Fair Isabel should placed be, Of them to take her choice full free, Most like a bonny lass.
