CAPTAIN WEDDEEBUEN'S COEETSHIP. 13
He says, " My pretty lady,
I pray lend me your hand, And you shall hae drums and trumpets
Always at your command ; ai
And fifty men to guard you with,
That well their swords can draw ; Sae we'se baith lie in ae bed,
And ye'se lie neist the wa'."
" Haud awa frae me," she said, n
" And pray lat gae my hand ; The supper bell it will be rung,
I can nae langer stand ;' My father he will angry be,
Gin I be miss'd awa; 30
Sae I'll nae lie in your bed,
Either at stock or wa'."
Then said the pretty lady,
" I pray tell me your name : " " My name is Captain Wedderburn, ss
A servant to the king. Tho' thy father and his men were here,
Of them I'd have nae awe ; But tak you to my ain bed,
And lay you neist the wa'." *>
He lighted aff his milk-white steed,
And set this lady on, And held her by the milk-white hand, |
