There's nevir a man in Cumberland,

Should ken where Carlisle castell stood.

"But since nae war's between the lands,

And there is peace, and peace should be;

I'll neither harm English lad or lass,

And yet the Kinmont freed shall be!"

He has call'd him forty marchmen bauld,

I trow they were of his ain name,

Except Sir Gilbert Elliot, call'd

The laird of Stobs, I mean the same.
