The Queen's King
(Queen) Who shall be king?
(Man one) Oh come, do come with me and I shall give you may things
(Queen) What things can you give to me? Why should I make you my man?
(Man one) I can give thee gold and silver and a ring upon thou hand
(Queen) Silver and gold can't make love strong. NO gather your riches and be gone!
Who is good enough to take the throne?
(Man two) Here I am oh love of mine, let us go forth drink and have a good time.
(Queen) I speak of marriage, you talk of wine are you not but a drunken swine?
(Man two) A drunken no but a player at best I care not about marriage nor a family no
less.
(Queen) A sinner is what you be! Get out from among me!
Oh who will be my king!?
(Man three) Oh queen I'd be if you'd let me. Gold and silver I do not have but I'd be honoured to be your man.
(Queen) Your words are wise, but what can you give?
(Man three) Only my love oh queen of mine.
(Queen) Then arise oh noble one and you shall be king and I'll be by your side forever as your Queen!
