You’ve latten your bride be stown frae you,
For a’ your armed men.’

I
There cam’ seven Egyptians on a day,
And wow, but they sang bonny!
And they sang sae sweet, and sae very complete,
Down cam’ Earl Cassilis’ lady.
II
She cam’ tripping down the stair,
And a’ her maids before her;
As soon as they saw her weel-faur’d face
They cast the glamourie owre her.
