She has stolen the king's redding-kaim,[180]
Likewise the queen her wedding-knife;
And sent the tokens to Carmichael,
To cause Young Logie get[181] his life.
She sent him a purse o' the red gowd,
Another o' the white monie;
And sent him a pistol into each hand,
And bade him shoot when he gat free.
When he came to the Tolbooth stair,
There he let his volley flee,
