And put fetters to his feet;
They hae ta’en Young Waters, and
Thrown him in dungeon deep.

‘Aft have I ridden thro’ Stirling town,
In the wind but and the weet;
But I neir rade thro’ Stirling town
Wi’ fetters at my feet.

XII

‘Aft have I ridden thro’ Stirling town,
In the wind but and the rain;
But I neir rade thro’ Stirling town
Neir to return again.’

They hae ta’en to the heiding-hill[515]
His young son in his craddle;
And they hae ta’en to the heiding-hill
His horse but and his saddle.

XIV

They hae ta’en to the heiding-hill
His lady fair to see;
And for the words the Queen had spoke
Young Waters he did dee.
