‘O no, O no, my gude Lady Hume,

Forsooth and so it mustna be;

Were he but the one Græme of the name,

He suld be hanged high for me.’

‘If I be guilty,’ said Hughie the Græme,

‘Of me my friends shall hae small talk;’

And he has loupd fifteen feet and three,

Though his hands they were tied behind his back.
