LORD BEICHAN AND SUSIE PYE. See p. [1].
From Kinloch's Ancient Scottish Ballads, p. 260.
Young Beichan was in London born,
He was a man of hie degree;
He past thro' monie kingdoms great,
Until he cam unto Grand Turkie.
He view'd the fashions of that land,5
Their way of worship viewed he;
But unto onie of their stocks
He wadna sae much as bow a knee:
Which made him to be taken straight,
And brought afore their hie jurie;10
The savage Moor did speak upricht,
And made him meikle ill to dree.
In ilka shoulder they've bor'd a hole,
And in ilka hole they've put a tree;
They've made him to draw carts and wains,15
Till he was sick and like to dee.
