About the middle o' the night,
Shf- heard the bridles ring;
This ludjy was as glad at that
As any earthly thing-

Firft fte let the black pafs b>-.
And r\ne fhe let the brown ;
Out then fpak the queen o' fairies*
And an angry queen was fhe;
Shame betide her ill-fard face.
But quickly fhe Tan to the milk wtite- And an ill death may fhe die.
And pa'd the rider down, (^fteed.
For fhes ta*en awa the bonieft knight

And young Tam Lin d i^d win; But had I kend Tam Lin, fhe fay-B^

| Description | By James Johnson. 6 volumes. Edinburgh : Printed & sold by Johnson & Co., 1787-1803. Burns contributed largely to the work, and Stephen Clarke prepared the arrangements of most of the airs. ["The volumes of the Musical museum, as originally published, were 'Humbly dedicated to the Catch Club, instituted at Edinburgh June 1771.' On the completion of the sixth and last volume, in 1803, Johnson substituted a new set of title-pages, dedicating the work 'To the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.'"--Laing's pref., to 1839 ed., v. 1, p. ii, foot-note]. |
