84 PROUD LADY MARGARET.
"Twas on a night, an evening bright,
When the dew began to fa', Lady Margaret was walking up and down,
Looking o'er her castle wa'.
She looked east, and she looked west, t
To see what she could spy, When a gallant knight came in her sight,
And to the gate drew nigh.
" You seem to be no gentleman,
Tou wear your boots so wide; 10
But you seem to be some cunning hunter,
You wear the horn so syde."
" I am no cunning hunter," he said,
"Nor ne'er intend to be; But I am come to this castle m
To seek the love of thee; And if you do not grant me love,
This night for thee I'll die."
" If you should die for me, sir knight,
There's few for you will mane, ao
For mony a better has died for me Whose graves are growing green.
" But ye maun read my riddle," she said,
" And answer me questions three ; And but ye read them right," she said, as
" Gae stretch ye out and die. |
