"I am the most unhappy man,
That ever was in Christian land!
I courted a maiden, meek and mild,
And I hae gotten naething but a woman wi' child."—
"O stay, my son, into this ha',
And sport ye wi* your merrymen a';
And I will to the secret bower,
To see how it fares wi' your paramour."—
The carline she was stark and sture,
She aff the hinges dang the dure;
