And for pleasure did rove
Dawn by Rossmore's Castle
And down by the grove;

So neatly stepped she,
On the banks of yon river
Near the weeping ash tree.

Saying "Are you queen (of) or princess
Or the Goddess of love
Or are you Diana
Fallen down from above?"

From Rossmore's demesne.(continues on next page)
