SIR HUGH LE BLOND. |
259 |
||
|
|||
Sir Hugh took out a lusty sword,
'Twas of the metal clear, And he has pierced Rodingham
Till's heart-blood did appear. 120
" Confess your treachery, now," he said,
" This day before you die !"— " I do confess my treachery,
I shall no longer lye :
" I like to wicked Haman am, ias
This day I shall be slain."— The Queen was brought to her chamber,
A good woman again.
The Queen then said unto the King,
" Arbattle's near the sea; iso
Give it unto the northern knight, That this day fought for me."
Then said the King, " Come here, Sir Knight,
And drink a glass of wine ; And, if Arbattle's not enough, 135
To it we'll Fordoun join." |

135. Arbattle is the ancient name of the barony of Ar-buthnot. Fordun has long been the patrimony of the same family S. |
