all he wants to do is to lie down in his coffin..
why? because his true love poisoned him..
he also said that he would leave four and twenty milk kines to his mother..
gold and silver to his sister..
his houses and lands to his brother..
and hell and fire to his true love..
why would he leave hell and fire to his true love?
because she only loved him for his fortune..
