Lady and the Dragoon- James Lovell of Ball Covert , Somerset on July 31, 1908, collected Sharp.
"My father was a lord and a lord of high renown,
If I should marry a soldier, 'twill pull his honour down,
So it's your birth and my birth, they never will agree,
So take it as a warning, bold dragoon," said she.
