There were three ravens sat on a tree, They were as black as they might be. The one of them said to his mate, 'Where shall we our breakefast take?' ' Downe in yonder greene field, There lies a knight slain under his shield. 'His hounds they lie downe at his feete, So well they can their master keepe. ' His haukes they flie so eagerly, There's no fowle dare come him nie.' Downe there comes a fallow doe, As great with yong as she might goe.
