Or in what town, or what countree?’
‘O I was born in fair Scotland,
A cruked carl although I be.’

The captain sware by the root of his sword,
Saying, I’m a Scotsman as weel as thee;
Here’s twenty shillings of English money
To such a cruked carl as thee,
If thou’ll tell me of that Wallace;
He’s ay the creature I want to see.
