by Walter Scott

If this be Johnie o' Breadislee,

"Nae nearer will we draw."

But up and spak the Sixth Forester,

(His sister's son was he)

"If this be Johnie o' Breadislee,

"We soon snall gar him die!"

The first flight of arrows the Foresters shot,

They wounded him on the knee;

And out and spak the Seventh Forester,

"The next will gar him die."
