To Loudoun Castle well I got;

It is a most delightfu’ spot.

The house, tho’ built before the flood,

Remains as yet both firm and good:

The more to decorate the place,

Our parents do the portals grace.

There Adam stands, a comely man,

Eve wi’ the apple in her han’:

In Eden’s yard the fruit was sweet,

But here she has not got it eat.
