CANTO SECOND.
WAT O' THE CLEUCH.
CANTO SECOND.
1.
Now Wat o' the Cleuch's gone down the dale, But he is not in hauberk or glistening mail ; Wat has not his hound, he has not his hawk, His two-hand sword hangs not at his back ; But Wat and all the best of his train Have frocks and cowls of murky grain ; Spear, axe, or hackbut, have they none, But scymitar and habergeon.
O never were friars so stalwart to view As Hab o' the Swire, and hard-riding Hugh, And Whitston, and Halston, and Wat o' the Cl...euch.
so 2.
Not grieved was Wat for his cap of steel, Nor armour doff'd from head to heel, But sorely troubled was his mind At leaving his good sword behind 5 For oft had it stood him in good stead, And he found he had left a friend indeed : This noted his page, a trusty elf, And thought and judged for himself.
3.
Away they went all brisk and hale Down the beauteous links of Teviotdale ; Full soft and slowly past they by Where the towers of Roxburgh frown'd on high, But there is one of the holy flock Whose eye is never from the rock, Wbo looks as if his soul were blent With counterscarp and battlement.
