" At kirk and market when we meet,
" We'll dare make nae avowe,

" Madame, how does my dow ?' "

AVise W^illiam he thought lang ;
And he has ta^en King Honour's son
A hunting for to gang.
It sae fell out, at this hunting,
Upon a simmer's day.
That they came by a fair castell.
Stood on a sunny brae.
O dinna ye see that bonny castell,
" Wi' halls and towers sae fair ?
' Gin ilka man had back his ain,
" Of it you suld be heir."
" How I suld be heir of that castell,
"In sooth I canna see ;
'* For it belangs to Fause Food rage,
" And he is na kin to me.'
