Took milk and butter, kirn and cheese,

On all kinds of eatables they seize;

And he who could not get a share,

Sprang to the hills like dogs for hare:

There shot the sheep and made them fall.

Whirled off the skin, and that was all;

Struck up fire and boiled the flesh,

With salt and pepper did not fash:[886]

This did enrage the Cameron’s chief,

To see his men so play the thief;
