Wi nine waggons scaling wide,

And seven banners bearing high;

It wad do any living gude

To see their bonny colours fly.

Motherwell’s Minstrelsy, p. lxxi, note 30; from a recited copy.

‘O yield thee to yon braken-bush,

That grows upon yon lilly lie;

For there lies aneth yon braken-bush

What aft has conquerd mae than thee.’
