‘What makes you be soe sad, my lord,

And in your mind soe sorrowffullye?

In the north of Scottland to-morrow there’s a shooting,

And thither thou’st goe, my Lord Percye.

5

‘The buttes are sett, and the shooting is made,

And there is like to be great royaltye,

And I am sworne into my bill

Thither to bring my Lord Pearcy.’
