“Ere the King my fair country get,

This land that’s nativest to me,

Mony o’ his nobles sall be cauld;

Their ladies sall be right wearie.”

Then spak’ his Lady, fair of face:

She said, “’T were without consent of me,

That an outlaw suld come before a King;

I am right rad of treasonrie.

Bid him be gude to his lords at hame,

For Edinburgh my Lord sall never see.”
