Saint-Maloes looketh on the sea;
Three ships there in the harbour be.
Three ships there in the harbour be,

Laden with grain right heavily.

To buy it forth went women three.
"Merchant, what may your prices be?
Merchant, what may your prices be?"
"Six francs the corn, the oats for three—
Six francs the corn, the oats for three."

Too dear by half your prices be."
"If better you can elsewhere see—
If better you can elsewhere see,
Then take it all and take it free—
Then take it all and take it free;
At that price we shan't disagree."
