10 MINSTIIEI-SY or
" A knight me gat, a lady bore,
" I am a squire of high renowne ;
" I well may bear't to any king,
" That ever yet wore crowne."
" He ne''er came of an EngUslmian,
" Had sic an e'e or bree ;
" But thou art the likest Auld ]\Iaitland,
" That ever I did see.
" But sic a gloom on ae brow-head,
" Grant I ne'er see aganc !
" For mony of oiu- men he slew,
" And mony put to pain."
When Maitland heard liis father's name,
An angi-y man was he i
Then, lifting up a gilt dagger,
Huns low down bv his knee.
He stabb'd the knight the standard bore,
He stabb'd him cruellic ;
Then caught the standard by the neuk,
And fast away rode he.
