"And will ye be so kind, fair may,

"As come out and point my way?"

"Ride out, ride out, ye ramp rider!

"Your steed's baith stout and strang;

"For out of the bought I dare na come,

"For fear 'at ye do me wrang."

"O winna ye pity me, bonny lass,

"O winna ye pity me?

"An' winna ye pity my poor steed,

"Stands trembling at yon tree?"
