Take it thus! thus fold it up,—

It holds for me the wisdom-wine.

"Go to the top of Tintock hill,

Grope within that eerie mist,

Whatever happens, keep quite still

Until ye find the dead man's kist.

"The kist will open, take the cup,

Heed ye not the dead man's shine,

Take it thus, thus fold it up,

Bring it to me and I am thine."
