Riddles from the North
Bill Jones

There was a knight of noble worth, Who also lived up in the NorthnThe knight of courage stout and brave, A wife he did desire to havenHe knocked at the manor gate, One eve when it was very latenThe youngest daughter fair and bright, She went to bed with this young knight.nnIn the morn when it was day, These words to him well she did saynNow you’ve had your will said she, I pray sir knight will you marry me?nThe brave young knight to her replied, Your suit it shall not be deniednIf you answer questions three, This very day you will marry me.nnOh what is longer than the way? Or what is deeper than the sea?nWhat is louder than a horn? Or what is sharper than a thorn?nWhat is rounder than a ring? Or what is sweeter than the spring?nWhat is greener than the grass? Or what is worse than woman was?nnLove is longer than the way, hell is deeper than the seanThunder’s louder than a horn, And hunger’s sharper than a thornnThe world is rounder than a ring, Our babe will be more sweet than springnPoison’s greener than the grass, And the devil is worse than woman wasnnWhen she these questions answered had, The knight became exceeding gladnAnd having wholly tried her wit, He much commended her for itnAfter as it’s verified, He made of her his lovely bridenSo now fair maidens all adieu, This song I dedicate to you.
