In the garden amo the flowers;

A steed paced fu well;

If Childe Vyet were well.

And thus he did complain:
'O am I doomd to die for love,
And nae be loved again?

Gin Childe Vyet were well.
13 'I hae bought to your daughter
The siller knapped gloves;
She wishd my hands might swell in them,
Had she her ain true love.
