She fell low down on her knee:

‘It’s what’s your will wi me, May Margret,

And what makes all this courtesey?’

‘Naething, naething, my sovreign liege,

But grant me the life of Young Logie.’

‘O no, O no, May Margret,

No, in sooth it maun na be;

For the morn, or I taste meat or drink,

Hee hanged shall Young Logie be.’
