THE DROWNED LOVERS. |

|

|
From Buchan's Ballads of the North of Scotland, i. 140. The copy in the Appendix to Motherwell's Minstrelsy, p. iii., is nearly the same. |

"Willie stands in his stable door, And clapping at his steed ;
And looking o'er his white fingers, His nose began to bleed.
" Gie corn to my horse, mother;
And meat to my young man ; And I'll awa' to Meggie's bower,
I'll win ere she he down."
" 0 bide this night wi' me, Willie, 0 bide this night wi' me ;
The best an' cock o' a' the reest, At your supper shall be. |
