THE SCOTTISH BORDER. 279
Middle Marches in 1597. The editor has been enabled
to add several stanzas to this ballad, since publication
of the first edition. They were obtained from recita-
tion ; andj as they contrast the brutal indifference of the
elder brother with the zeal and spirit of his associates,
they add considerably to the dramatic effect of the
whole.
