‘The boy took out his milk-white steed,

Unmindful of my dule and sorrow;

But, ere the toofal of the night,

He lay a corpse on the banks of Yarrow. 80

‘Much I rejoiced that waeful day,

I sang, my voice the woods returning;

But lang ere night the spear was flown

That slew my Love, and left me mourning.

‘What can my barbarous father do, 85

But with his cruel rage pursue me?
