If you were a lord, you should be my lord, And the same if you were a thief," said she." And if you are a Harper, you shall be my Harper, For it makes no matter to me, to me, For it makes no matter to me."" But what if it proves that I am no Harper? That I lied for your love most monstrously?"" Why, then I'll teach you to play and sing, For I dearly love a good harp," said she.
