The title of this drawing comes from the ballad Walsingham, originally attributed to Sir Walter Raleigh, but of which several versions of the words exist, including a version written by Shakespeare in Hamlet, known as Ophelia's Walsingham. The title here is closest to the wording of Thomas Deloney, in his 1690 The Garland of Good Will:
'I lov'd her all my Youth,
but now am old as you see,
Love liketh not the falling Fruit,
nor the withered Tree'
