The girl opened the door and he went in now and stayed there with her for a little while. When he left he went into the bush, and when he came back out he left a portion of pigeons and went home. The next morning, his mother followed him again. She went, and she heard the song:

My sweet Arlegen, my sweet Arlegen,

Ye virgin, open the door,

My sweet Arlegen.

Well, she opened the door and he passed a little time there and went out again. Now, the mother wanted to kill the girl. After the fellow went into the bush, the mother went by the door and began to sing, softly and lightly:

My sweet Arlegen, my sweet Arlegen,

Ye virgin, open the door,

My sweet Arlegen.
