In ony frith where I may them see.”

PART II

James Boyd took his leave o’ the noble King,

To Ettrick Forest fair cam’ he;

Down Birkendale Brae when that he cam’,

He saw the fair forest wi’ his ee.

Baith dae and rae, and hart and hind,

And of a’ wild beasts great plentie;

He heard the bows that boldly ring,

And arrows whidderan’ him near by.
