164 He lichted aff his hie, hie, horse, And he set the bonnie may on; — " Now caw* out your kye gudefather, f Ye maun caw them out your lane.
For lang will ye caw them out, And weary will ye be, Or ye get your dochter again, That was aye dear to thee.
He was the Laird o' Ochiltree, Of thirty ploughs and three, And he has stown awa the bonniest may In a' the south countrie.
* Caw — drive. F Gudefathcr — father-in-law.
NOTES ON LAIRD OF OCHILTREE.
But he poud out a ribbon frac It is pouch, And sn...ooded up her hair p. 161, v. 5.
His conduct would lead us to suppose that he had rather un snooded her hair: the snood, or head-fare, be- ing a fillet of ribbon used as a band for the hair, pro- perly belonging to unmarried females; and, like the English garland, was once dewed as an emblem of purity, though it has now lost that distinguishing cha- racter, being worn by all classes of women, and indeed, lias become so degraded, as to be usually worn by fe- males of the worst description. This was not the case formerly; for so soon as a young woman had " tint her snood, " or, in other words, had lost the title of a maid, she was no longer permitted to wear thai em- 166 blem of her virgin state, and was looked upon, by our simple, but honest forefathers, as a " guilty thing, " whose honour could only be repaired by marrying her seducer.
