Motherwell’s MS., p. 381, from the recitation of Agnes Lyle, Kilbarchan, 27 July, 1825.

1

There cam singers to Earl Cassillis’ gates,

And oh, but they sang bonnie!

They sang sae sweet and sae complete,

Till down cam the earl’s lady.

2

She cam tripping down the stair,

And all her maids before her;
