[Roud 386; Ballad Index FowM059; VWML FK/18/252/1, CJS2/10/1159, CJS2/9/1155; Bodleian Roud 386; trad.]. W.B. Yeats' poem and the resulting song Down by the Salley Gardens are based on this work.

You rambling boys of pleasure,
Give ear unto these lines I write.
I own I am a rover,
In rambling I take great delight.
I cast my mind on a handsome girl,
Though oftentimes she does me slight,
My mind is never easy
Except when my true love is in my sight.
