But scho had gane to the landis of pece,
And left him sadd behynde;
He had seuin dochteris all se fayre,
Of mayre than yerdlye grece,
Seuin bonnyer babis neuir braithit ayre,
Or smylit in parentis fece.
Ane daye quhan theye war all alane,
He sayde with hevye mene;
'Quhat will cum of ye, my deire babis,
Now quhan your moderis gene?
