Till he reached the yellow fand* The fteed it fwam, and the coble fhot, Whilft the fifhers rax'd at the oar.
Was ne'er fuch a race, the fteed I fay Firft landed at Fenham fhore.
As Gillum rode up Chefter Hill, He met a woman old ; I Of THE \l VNIVERSITY 114 Border Minftrelfy.
She craved him there to give her alms^ For in footh her limbs were cold He drew a noble from his purfe.
And gave it yon eldem dame ; " Pray for me, gude wife," he faid, " for the road Is not oft trod I came." She gave an e...ildricht laugh at the gold : " Thy fortune I will prie.
Not every knight fo gallant and brave Doth give his gold fo free." She told him then fome proven truths.
That long ago had paft ; *' The bonny beaft you ride upon Shall be your death at laft." He patted the neck of his courier fleet, " Good mother, you do but jeft ; For Rupert is gentle, fwift, and good.
As a child at a nourice breaft !"
