.1 leant my^back unto an aik,
I thought it was a truftj- treej
But firft it bow'd,and yne it brak,
And fae did my faufe love to me.
When cockle-fhells turn filler bells,
And muffels grow on evry- tree;
When froft and fnaw fhall warm us a ,
Then fhall mj- love prove true to me.
'Tis not the froft that freezes feil,
Nor blawing fnaw's inclemency;
'Tis not fie cauld that makes me crj;
But my love's heart grown cauld torn-
When we came in bj- Glafgow town,
We were a comely fight to fee J
My love was cled in velvet black
And I myfel in cramafie.
Now Arthurs feat fhall be mj- bed,
The fheets fhall ne'er be fyl'd bj-me,
-Saint Anton's well fhall be my drink,
Since my- true-love's forfaken me.
O Mart mas wind, when wilt thou blow,
I And fhake the green leaves off the tree! And fet upon the nurfe's knee;
O gentle death, when wilt thou come And I myfel were dead and gane;
And tak a life that wearies me! For maid again I'll never be.
But had I wift before I kifs'd
That love had been fae ill to win;
I'd lockt mj- heart in a cafe of gold,
And pin'd it with a Giver pin.
Oh, oh! if try joung babe were born,
