4.1 ‘Istow,’ art thou.

4.2 ‘twinn with,’ part with.

‘Istow a maid, or istow a wife?

Wiltow twinn with thy maidenhead, or thy sweet life?’

5.

‘O kind sir, if I hae’t at my will,

I’ll twinn with my life, keep my maidenhead still.’

6.

He’s taen out his wee pen-knife,

He’s twinned this young lady of her sweet life.
