Printed broadsides call the tune “The Shepherds Delight.” The ballad, in at least twenty-three stanzas, tells of a maiden who, after being deflowered and abandoned by a knight known as Sweet William, demands her rights from the King, William, reluctant in the extreme to marry any “shepherds Daughter,” tries to send her away with a bag of gold, but:

• O Ile have none of your gold she said
• Nor Ile have none of your fee.
• But I must have your fair body,

• Once they have been married, she reveals that her rank far surpasses his:
• But when they came unto the place,
• Where Marriage rights were done,
• She provd herself a Dukes daughter,
• And he but a Squires Son.
