The Algreve he his bugle wound,
_The longest night_.
The Queen in her bower heard the sound
_Love me doth thrall_.

The Queen her little foot boy address'd:
_The longest night_.
"Go, come to me hither the Algreve request."
_Love me doth thrall_.

In came the Algrave, 'fore the board stood he:
"What wilt thou my Queen that thou'st sent for me?"

"If I survive when my lord is dead,
Thou shall rule o'er my gold so red."

The Algreve he his bugle wound
_The long night all_--
The Queen in bower heard the sound,
_I'm passion's thrall_.

The Queen her little page address'd,
_The long night all_--
"To come to me the Greve request,"
_I'm passion's thrall_.

He came, before the board stood he,
_The long night all_--
"Wherefore, O Queen, hast sent for me?"
_I'm passion's thrall_,

"As soon as e'er my lord is dead,
_The long night all_--
Thou shall rule o'er my gold so red,"
_I'm passion's thrall_.
