Lyrics are in the database but sorry, machine can't do blickies. If you don't know the story, 'he' goes off to see strange counties, decides he misses 'her', so he comes back but she has died of sorrow, so he promptly dies too.

A couple of lines from Lord Lovel puzzle me :

Lady Nancy died as she might be today,

Lord Lovel he died [as]* tomorrow.

*included or not, depending on your source.

I think 'died as she might be yesterday' maybe means her body hasn't decomposed, suggesting purity/saintliness.

But what does 'died as tomorrow' mean ??? Just wordplay - yesterday v tomorrow. Literally - dying tomorrow means he hasn't actually died yet - so a prediction ? -how he feels ????

Any ideas ? It's bugging me, & I don't like singing a song if I'm not to give at least a reasonable explanation.

Much thanks, Hilary
