If I e'er rin against my will,

'Twill be at a lover's ca'!"

Sir Arthur's turned him round about,

E'en as the lady spak';

An' thrice he dighted his dim e'e,

An' thrice he steppit back.

But ae blink o' her bonny e'e,

Out spake his Lady Ann;

An' he's catch'd her by the waist sae sma

Wi' the grip o' a drowning man.
