    (continued from previous page)
    I will my honourable lady and many thanks to thee
    There is one gold ring amongst them I'll allow yourself to wear
    With thirty locks of diamonds well set in silver fair.
    There's one gold ring amongst them you'll wear on your right hand
    That you'll think on my poor broken heart when youre in a foreign land. Up then bespoke the noble fox you may let the Prisoner go
    The lady's oath has cleared him as the jury all may know
    She has releast her own true love she has releast his name
    May her honour bright gain high estate
    and her off spring rise to fame.
