‘I woud na gi’ that cup, daughter,

That ye hold i’ your han’,

For a’ the wines in my cellar,

An’ gantrees whare the[y] stan’.’

12.3 ‘sic,’ such: the MS. gives sick: ‘steer,’ disturbance.

‘O wae be to your wine, father,

That ever ’t came o’er the sea;

’Tis pitten my head in sic a steer

I’ my bow’r I canna be.’
