Fair Philiphaugh is mine by right,
" And Lewinshope still mine shall be ;

" My boAv and arrow purchased me.
And I have native steads to me,
" The Newark Lee and Hangingshaw ;
I have mony steads in the Forestc shaw,
" But them by name I dinna knaw."
The keys o' the castell he gave the King,
Wi' the blessing o*" his feir ladye ;
He was made sherifFe of Ettricke Foreste,
Surely vhile upward grows the trie ;
And if he \ as na traitour to the King,
Forfaultea he suld nevir be.
Wha ever heard, in ony times,
Sicken an Outlaw in his degre.
Sic favour get befor a King,
As did the Outlaw Murray of the Foreste frie ?
