THE LINDSAY’S BRIDAL.
[The first marriage of Colin, Earl of Lindsay and Balcarres, to Maurizia de Nassau, took place in extreme youth, at the court of James II., under the circumstances and with the result narrated.]
In blithe London Town
Ne’er such bridal was known
As this of Earl Colin the Lindsay so gay:
O’er the Border, in sooth,
Never came bonnier youth,
And the king’s self shall give the fair lady away.
The bridemaids and bride
Are here in their pride,
