"For every drap of Maitland blood,

"I'll gie a rigg of land."

He clanked Piercy ower the head,

A deep wound and a sair,

Till the best blood o' his bodie

Cam rinning down his hair.

"Now, I've slayne ane; slay ye the twa;

"And that's gude companye;

"And if the twa suld slay you baith,

"Ye'se get na help frae me."
