"Weill may I kiss those pale, pale lips,
For they will never kiss me;—30
I'll mak a vow, and keep it true,
That they'll ne'er kiss ane but thee."
Lady Nancie died on Tuesday's nicht,
Lord Lovel upon the niest day;
Lady Nancie died for pure, pure love,35
Lord Lovel, for deep sorray.
LORD SALTON AND AUCHANACHIE.
The following fragment was first published in Maidment's North Countrie Garland, p. 10; shortly after, in Buchan's Gleanings, p. 161. A more complete copy, from Buchan's larger collection, is annexed.

Ben came her father,
Skipping on the floor,
Said, "Jeanie, you're trying
The tricks of a whore.
"You're caring for him5
That cares not for thee,
And I pray you take Salton,
Let Auchanachie be."
