Molly May

Her name was Molly May
and lady fair was she
by Apollo's light she
spun and sang
a perfect daughter
and maid she be
but by Diana's glow
she sprang to life
and armour she did don
her fathers sword
in gauntlet locked
in combat she did shine
with helmet cast
to hide her eyes
a hero she became
the rabble's blood
shed on her sword
then home she went
to lie alone
between those silken sheets
she lied
when first light shone
her heart denied
and a maiden fair
was she
