THE D-EMON LOVER. |
||
|
" I might hae had a king's daughter, Far, far beyond the sea ; I might have had a king's daughter, is
Had it not been for love o' thee."—
" If ye might have had a king's daughter,. Yer sell ye had to blame; Ye might have taken the king's daughter, For ye kend that I was nane."— a>
" 0 faulse are the vows of womankind, But fair is their faulse bodie ; I never wad hae trodden on Irish ground, Had it not been for love o' thee."—
" If I was to leave my husband dear, 25
And my two babes also, 0 what have you to take me to, If with you I should go ? "—
" I hae seven ships upon the sea,
The eighth brought me to land ; so
With four-and-twenty bold mariners, And music on every hand."
She has taken up her two little babes, Kiss'd them baith cheek and chin ; " 0 fair ye weel, my ain two babes, «
For I'll never see you again." |
