‘6 Ye lied, ye lied, ye bonny burd, 
Sae loud’s I hear ye lie; 
As I came by the Lowden banks, 
They bade gude e’en to me. 
‘¢ But fare ye weel, my ae fause love, 
That I hae loved sae Jang ! 
It sets * ‘ye chuse another love, 
And let young Benjie gang.” 
Then Marjorie turned her round about, 
The tear blinding her ee, 
«¢ T dare na, dare na, let thee in, 
But I’! come dowa to thee.” 
Then saft she smiled, and said to him, 
<¢ © what ill hae I done ?” 
He took her in his armis twa, 
And threw her o’er the lint 
The stream was strang, the maid was stout, 
And laith laith to be dang t, 
But, ere she wan the Lowden banks, 
Her fair colour was wan. 3 
Then up bespak her eldest brother, 
' 6¢ O see na ye what I see?” 
And out then spak her second brother, 
6 Its our sister Marjorie oe 
Out then spak her eldest brother, 
<< O how shall we her ken ?”” 
And out then spak her youngest brother, 
<< There’s a honey-mark on her chin.” 
Then they’ve ta’en up the comely corpse, 
And laid it on the grund— 
«¢ © wha has killed our ae sister, 
And how can he be found? 
«* The night it is her low lykewake, 
The morn her burial day, 
And we maun watch at mirk midnight, 
And hear what she will say.” 
* Sets ye—Becomes you—ironical. 
+ Dang—defeated.
