" Wide in, wide in, my lady fair,
Nae harm shall thee befall; • Aft times hae I water'd my steed, u

She stepped to the knee ; And sighing sair, says this lady fair,
" This water's nae for me." so

Nae harm shall thee befall; Aft times hae I water'd my steed,
Wi' the water o' Wearie's well."

" I've wat my gowden girdle."
" Wide in, wide in, my lady fair,
