‘The egg is chipp’d, the bird is flown,
Ye’ll see nae mair of Young Logie.’
17.
The tane is shipped at the pier of Leith,
The tother at the Queen’s Ferrie;
And she’s gotten a father to her bairn,
The wanton laird of Young Logie.

The Text is from a Cottonian MS. of the sixteenth century in the British Museum (Vesp. A. xxv. fol. 178). It is carelessly written, and words are here and there deleted and altered. I have allowed myself the liberty of choosing readings from several alternatives or possibilities.
