RIDDLE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: THERE WERE THREE SISTERS IN A HALL
Last Line: "THEN, AUNTS, ALL THREE"
Subject(s): RIDDLES;
THERE were three sisters in a hall,
There came a knight amongst them all;
Good morrow, aunt, to the one,
Good morrow, aunt, to the other,
Good morrow, gentlewoman, to the third,
If you were aunt,
As the other two be,
I would say good morrow,
Then, aunts, all three.
