The white dove sat on the castle wall
From W. Wager's play, called 'The longer thou livest, the more foole thou art,' 4to, Lond.
“The white dove sat on the castle wall,
I bend my bow and shoot her I shall;
I put her in my glove both feathers and all;
I laid my bridle upon the shelf,
If you will any more, sing it yourself.”
