Ye'se hae a cage o' guid red gowd
Instead o' simple tree:
"I'll put gowd hingers[126] roun' your cage,
And siller roun' your wa';
I'll gar[127] ye shine as fair a bird
As ony o' them a'."
But she hadnae these words well spoke,
Nor yet these words well said,
Till Cow-me-doo flew frae the tower
And lighted on her head.
