And I will sink this proud Gallio in the sea,
And I will sink the French gallio?

‘I will gie you gold, boy, and I will gie you fee,
Besides a rarer gift that I will give thee;
Ye’se have my eldest daughter your wedded wife to be,
If ye will sink the French gallio.’

The boy bent his breast, and away swam he,
And took a bold venture thro the stormy sea,
