A gallanter baron ne'er lap to a horse.
When Brackley was mounted, and rade o'er the green,
He was as bold a baron as ever was seen.
Tho' there cam' wi' Inverey thirty and three,
There was nane wi' bonny Brackley but his brother and he.
Twa gallanter Gordons did never sword draw;
But against four and thirty, wae's me, what is twa?
Wi' swords and wi' daggers they did him surround;
And they've pierced bonny Brackley wi' mony a wound.
