"A thousand times no, lord!" she cried. "A thousand times? Yes," he replied, "That may well occur, It's called droite seigneur, It means I can have each man's bride.
"As lord of this country estate, I've rights over every man's mate. You think it not fair? But why should I care? I person'ly think it is great."
So shortly she made no affray, To bed, and such games they did play, She soon got a lust, For the old upper crust. "A thousand times? Yes please, I pray."

While lordship, the peasant girls plied, His wife didn't linger inside, The bold gipsy rover Would get his leg over And give her a jolly rough ride.
