Tell the man that I am as he knows me to be
\nAnd he can know as he desires all he desires of me
\nRealise of my thighs he of them well is known
\nI desire for myself for a while his Brown Bull to own
\nSend the word by the birds, give the word by hand
\nAs a queen, as a woman, by my word I stand
\nCall him hither to be mine, and his bull for my herd
\nHis bull know my grass, his hands the truth of my word
\nAs a man, of his word, let each other be full
\nThis I give as I live for the loan of his bull.<\/p>\n
