St Maur, you'll build your christened child

Alive into the wall."

St Maur has turned on his heel so light,

And angry he turns away:

"Gang to the devil another time

When ye ask what ye ask to-day."

He's ta'en his young son by the hand—

He's opened wide the gate,

"Your mother's been sick a month by now,

And she'll mourn sore if we're late."
