And then the knichte sae brave.

They got into the wee, wee boat,

And rowed wi’ a’ their micht;

When the knichte sae brave, he turnit about,

And lookit at the ladye bricht;

He lookit at her bonnie cheik,

And hee lookit at hir twa bricht eyne,

Bot hir rosie cheik growe ghaistly pale,

And schoe seymit as scho deid had been.

The fause, fause knichte growe pale wi’ frichte,
