Motherwell’s MS., p. 135; from the recitation of Widow Nicol, of Paisley.

1

The Earl of Aboyne has up to London gone,

And all his nobles with him,

And three broad letters he sent into his love

He would wed another woman in London.

2

She has turned the honey month about,

To see if he was coming,

And lang three miles ere he came to the town
