THE SCOTTISH BOKDER. 171
But little harness had we there ; '
But auld Badreule had on a jack,
And did right weel, I you declare,
With all his Trumbills at his back.
Gude Edderstane was not to lack,
Nor Kirktoun, Newton, noble men !
Thirs* all the specials I of speake,
By-f- others that I could not ken.
Who did invent that day of play,
We need not fear to find him soon ;
For Sir John Forster, I dare well say,
Made us this noisome afternoon.
Not that I speak preceislie out,
That he supposed it would be perril ;
But pride, and breaking out of feuid,
Garr'd Tindaill lads begin the quarrel.
* Thirs — 1'hese are. f By — Besides.
