GUEST,Lea Lyr Req: Delyow Syvy (Cornish) (10) RE: Lyr Req: Delyow Syvy (Cornish) 28 Oct 16

As already Robert Morton Nance suggested, the Late Cornish version is clearly a translation of an English source, since there are English sources referring to "Strawberry Leaves" are going back to around 1630.

Sources:
1) Hamdultun, Valentine. (1630). Magdalene College – Pepys Collection. Printed at London for H. Gosson, 1258, 1259

2) MS 17786-17791. Vocal and instrumental pieces by English composers, arranged for five, six and seven parts. (British Library)

3) 1688 or 1689 (so around the same time:) http://ballads.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/search/tunes/Adam's%20fall,%20or%20Jocky%20and%20Jenny,%20or%20where%20art%20thou%20going%20my%20pritty%20maid
