"But if they come on me one and all,

You may stand by and see me fall."

They have come on him ane by ane,

And he has killed them all but ane.

And that ane came behind his back,

And he's gi en him a deadly whack.

But for a' sae wounded as Earl Bran was,

He has set his lady on her horse.

They rode till they came to the water o' Doune,

And then he alighted to wash his wounds.
