We were a comely sight to see;

My love was clad in the black velvet,

And I myself in cramasie.[[81]]

But had I wist, before I kissed,

That love had been sae ill to win,

I'd lock'd my heart in a case of gold,

And pin'd it with a silver pin.

Oh, oh, if my young babe were born,

And set upon the nurse's knee,

And I myself were dead and gane,
