35 'I've laid nae love on you, brown may,
I've laid nae love on you;
I've mair love for Fair Annie this day
Than I'll hae for you till I dee.'

36 'If you will neither eat nor drink,
You'll see good game an play;'
But she turned her horse head to the hill,
An swift she rode away.

37 When they were all at supper set,
. . . . . . .
Till he went to Fair Annie's bower,
By the ley licht o the mune.
38 An when he came to Annie's bower,
Annie was lying deid,
An seven o Annie's sisters an sisters' bairns
Were sewing at Annie's weed.
39 'It's I will take your hand, Annie,
Since ye wald neer take mine;
The woman shall never have the hand
That I'll touch after thine.
40 'An I will kiss your mouth, Annie,
Since ye will never kiss mine;
The woman shall never have the lips
That I'll kiss after thine.

'As much breid ye deal at Annie's dairgie
Tomorrow ye's deal at mine.'
