THE BONNIE EAEL O' MtJEEAT. 12]
He was a braw gallant,
And he play'd at the glove ; And the bonny Earl of Murray,
0 he was the Queen's love. 20
0 lang will his lady
Look o'er the castle Down, Ere she see the Earl of Murray
Come sounding thro' the town. |

THE BONNIE EARL 0' MURRAY.
From Finlay's Scottish Ballads, ii. 21.
" Open the gates,
And let him come in; He is my brother Huntly,
He'll do him nae harm."
The gates they were opent, s
They let him come in; But fause traitor Huntly,
He did him great harm.
He's ben and ben,
And ben to his bed; io
And with a sharp rapier
He stabbed him dead. |
