Sumtymis are maukyn cam therin,

Hytchyng rycht wistfullye.

But quhan they serchit the touir of Blain,

And socht it sayre and lang,

They fande nocht but the gude greye katt

Sittyng thrummyng at hir sang;

And up scho rase and pacit hir wayis

Full stetlye oure the stene,

And streikit out hir braw hint-leg,

As nocht at all had bene.
