Or laugh ye at young Lady Maisry, This night my bride's to be ? 1 laugh na at your men, brother. Nor do I laugh at thee ; But I laugh at the knightleas sport That I saw wi' my e'e. 238 It is a ring on ae finger, A broach on ae breast bane ; And if ye kent what's under that, Your love wou''d soon be dane. Lord Ingram and his merry young men Out ower the plains are gane ; And pensively walk'd him, Childe Vyet, Him single, self, alane. When they had eaten and well drunken, And a"" men bound for be...d ; Lord Ingram and Lady Maisry, In ae chamber were laid. He laid his hand upon her breast, And thus pronounced he :•— There is a bairn within your sides, Wha may the father be ? Wha ever be your bairn's father, Ye will father it on me ; The fairest castle o' Snowdown Your morning gift shall be. Wha ever be my bairn's father, I'll ne'er father it on thee ; For better love I my bairn's father Nor ever I'll love thee. 239 Then lie^s taen out a trusty brand, Laid it between them tway ; Says, Lye ye there, ye ill woman, A maid for me till day.
