Notes
four and forty are the braids / that twine about her head / four and forty are the maids / that wait upon her bed / four and forty are the bells / upon her horse's bridle / four and forty are the jewels / upon its leather saddle / four and forty are the babes / that she has stole away / and countless are the princes' hearts / that she did break today.
