‘O woe be to thee, thou Captain Ogilvie!
And an ill death thou shalt dee.
For taking to thee my daughter Jean
High hangit shalt thou be.’
X
The Duke has written a broad letter,
To the King [with his own han’;]
It was to hang Captain Ogilvie
If ever he hang’d a man.
XI
‘I will not hang Captain Ogilvie
For no lord that I see;
But I’ll gar him put off the broad scarlèt,
And put on the single liver[582]ỳ.’
XII
Now word came to Captain Ogilvie,
In the chamber where he lay,
To cast off the gold lace and scarlet,
And put on the single liverỳ.
XIII
‘If this be for bonny Jeanie Gordon,
This penance I can take wi’;
If this be for dear Jeanie Gordon,
All this and mair will I dree[583].’
