. Prom Motherwell's Minstrelsy, p. 61.
There were twa brothers at the scule,
And when they got awa,'— " It's will ye play at the stane-chucking,
Or will ye play at the ba', Or will ye gae up to yon hill head, «
And there we'll warsel a fa' ? "
" I winna play at the stane-chucking,
Nor will I play at the ba'; But I'll gae up to yon bonnie green hill,
And there we'll warsel a fa'." »
They warsled up, they warsled down,
Till John fell to the ground; A dirk fell out of William's pouch,
And gave John a deadly wound.
" O lift me upon your back, is
Take me to yon well fair, VOL. ii. 23 |
