The Maid and the Stone Hill Commonplace Book, 1530
Lully lullay lully lullay the fawcon hath borne my make away
He bare him up he bare him down he bare him to an orchard brown
Lully lullay lully lullay the fawcon hath borne my make away
And in that orchard there was an hall, It was hanged with purple and pall
Lully lullay lully lullay the fawcon hath borne my make away
And in that hall there was a bed, It was hanged with gold so red
Lully lullay lully lullay the fawcon hath borne my make away
And in that bed there lies a knight, his wounds bleeding both day and night
Lully lullay lully lullay the fawcon hath borne my make away
And at that bedside there kneeleth a may, she weepeth sore both night and day
Lully lullay lully lullay the fawcon hath borne my make away
And by that bed there standeth a stone, Corpus Christi written thereon
