For I am the gardian of the gude,

Let the wycked be ware of me.

'There ar seuin pearlis in yonder touir,

Their number sune shall wane;

There are seuin flouris in fayre Scotland,

I'll pu them ane by ane;

'And the weeist burd in all the bouir

Shall be the last that is taene;

The Lairde of Blain hethe seuin dochteris,

But sune he shall haif nane.
