Ther hang nine targats at Johnys hat,

And ilk an worth three hundred pound:

‘What wants that knave that a king suld haif,

But the sword of honour and the crown!

‘O whair gat thou these targats, Johnie,

That blink sae brawly abune thy brie? ’

‘I gat them in the field fechting,

Wher, cruel king, thou durst not be.
