But Willie was stricken ower the head,

And through the knapscap the sword has gane;

And Harden grat for very rage,

Whan Willie on the grund lay slane.

But he’s taen aff his gude steel cap,

And thrice he’s waved it in the air;

The Dinlay snaw was neer mair white

Nor the lyart locks of Harden’s hair.
