" I have a tower in Dalisberry,
Which now is dearly dight, And I will gie it to young Musgrave
To lodge wi' me a' night."
" To lodge wi' thee a' night, fair lady, *
Wad breed baith sorrow and strife;
For I see by the rings on your fingers, You're good lord Barnab/s wife."
" Lord Barnaby's wife although I be,
Yet what is that to thee ? «
For we'll beguile him for this ae night— He's on to fair Dundee. |
