Is this your daughter, Glaud ? Glatid. Sir, she's my niece, — An' yet she's not — but I shou'd haud my peace. Sir Wil. This is a contradiction. What d'ye mean ? She is, and is not ! pray thee, Glaud, explain. Glaud. Because I doubt, if I shou'd mak appear WTiat I hae kept a secret thirteen year — Alause. You may reveal what I can fully clear. Sir Wil. Speak soon ; I'm all impatience ! — Pade. Sae am I ! For much I hope, an' hardly yet ken why. Glaud. Then, since my master orders, I obey. — This... bonny foundling, ae clear morn o' May, Close by the lee-side o' my door I found, A' sweet an' clean, an' carefully hapt round, In infant weeds, o* rich an' gentle make. ^Vhat cou'd they be, thought I, did thee forsake ? \Vha, warse than brutes, cou'd leave expos'd to air Sae much o' innocence, sae sweetly fair, THE GENTLE SHEPHERD. 75 Sae helpless young ? for she appear'd to me Only about twa towmands auld to be. I took her in my arms ; the bairnie smil'd Wi' sic a look, wad made a savage mild, I hid the story : she has pass'd sinsyne As a poor orphan, an' a niece o' mine : Nor do I rue my care about the wean, For she's weel worth the pains that I hae tane.
