Four lines setting out what different creatures and people love best, from the hart and his high wood to a lady who simply loves her own way. A tidy little rhyme about character.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
The hart he loves the high wood,
The hare she loves the hill;
The Knight he loves his bright sword,
The Lady—loves her will.
