A fine young man it was indeed,
He was mounted on his milk-white steed;
He rode, he rode himself all alone,
Until he came to lovely Joan.
"Good morning to you, pretty maid."
And, "Twice good morning, sir", she said.

Says he to himself, "I'll be there by and by."
Since these stanzas are taken from a ballad, which is the BEST choice for the missing line?

Tha was wrong ->-
I apologize for the mistake. Without additional context, any of the options could be correct. However, based on the rhyme scheme of the first two stanzas, option C seems to be the most fitting choice: "He gave her a wink, she rolled her eye."
