The English Ballad "Matty Groves" (Part 4) (Pictures correspond to verses below) 1. I cannot rise and I dare not rise, I fear ‘twould cost my life.  For you have got two bitter swords and I ain’t got a knife, I ain’t got a knife. 2. Oh yes, I have two bitter swords, they cost me deep in the purse, But you shall have the better one and I shall have the worst, I shall have the worse. 3. Firstest stroke little Matty struck, he hurt Lord Arlyn sore. And the nextest stroke Lord Arlyn struck, little Matty struck no more, Little Matty struck no more. 4. Rise up, rise up, my gay young wife. Draw on your wedding clothes.  And tell me do you like me best, or like you Matty Groves  Or the now dead Matty Groves. 5. She lifted Matty’s dying head, and kissed from cheek to chin. It’s Matty Groves I’d rather have, than Arlyn and all his kin, Than Arlyn, and all his kin. 6. He took his lady by the hand, and he dragged her through the hall. And with his sword, he cut off her head, and he stove it again’ the wall He stove it again’ the wall. To be concluded...
