"Where on Esk side thou stand est stout!

"Gif I had lived but seven yeirs mair,

"I wad hae gilt thee round about."

John murdered was at Carlinrigg,

And all his gallant cumpanie;

But Scotland's heart was ne'er sae wae,

To see sae mony brave men die—

[125]

Because they saved their countrey deir,

Frae Englishmen! Nane were sae bauld,
