Lady and the Dragoon- William Stokes of Chew Stoke, Somerset on August 29, 1906, collected Sharp.
"My father is a knight, and a knight of high degree,
If I should marry a soldier, 'twould bring his honour down,
For your birth and my birth, it never will agree,
So take it as a warning, bold dragoon," cried she.
