We scarce had won the Staneshaw-bank,
When a’the Carlisle bells were rung,
And a thousand men, in horse and foot,
Cam wi the keen Lord Scroope along.

Buccleuch has turned to Eden Water,
Even where it flowd frae bank to brim,
And he has plunged in wi a’his band,
And safely swam them thro the stream.
