‘All you that is my maidens winna tak me by the han,

I winna be inhefted o five thousan poun;

I’ll nae wear silk to my heal nor wear gowd to my knee,

An I never will forsake him Young Annochie.’

‘All you that is her maidens, ye’ll show her to her bed;

The blankets they are ready, the sheets are comely spread;

She shall lie in my airms till twelve o the day,

An I’ll cause her to forsake him Young Annochie.’
