and the watching of the dead corpse was said to have taken place in Bothwell church. Scott.
Or a' the maids o' fair Scotland,
The fairest was Marjorie; And young Benjie was her ae true love,
And a dear true love was he.
And wow but they were lovers dear, «
And loved fu' constantlie ; But aye the mair when they fell out,
The sairer was their plea.
And they hae quarrell'd on a day,
Till Marjorie's heart grew wae; »
And she said she'd chuse another luve, And let young Benjie gae.
And he was stout, and proud-hearted,
And thought o't bitterlie ; And he's gane by the wan moonlight, w
To meet his Marjorie.
" O open, open, my true love, O open, and let me in ! "— |
