"A' they that hae blue tails."

Quo' the wee boy, and still he stude.

"I wiss ye were on yon tree:"

Quo' the fause knicht upon the road:

"And a gude ladder under me."

Quo' the wee boy, and still he stude.

"And the ladder for to break:"

Quo' the fause knicht upon the road:

"And you for to fa' down."

Quo' the wee boy, and still he stude.
