204 YOUNG HYNHORN. ( To its own Tune.) Near Edinburgh was a young son born, Hey lilelu an' a how low Ian', An' his name it was called young Hynhorn, An' its hey down down deedle airo. Seven long years he served the king, Hey, &c. An' it's a' for the sake of his daughter Jean. The king an angry man was he, He send young Hynhorn to the sea. * * * An' on his finger she put a ring. When your ring turns pale and wan, Then I'm in love wi' another man. An' it's he^, &c.

205 Upon a day he look'd at his ring, It was as pale as any thing. He's left the sea, an' he's come to the Ian', An' there he met an auld beggar man. What news, what news, my auld beggar man. What news, what news by sea or by Ian'. Nae news, nae news, the auld beggar said, But the king's dochter Jean is going to be wed. Cast aff, cast aff thy auld beggar-weed, An' I'll gie thee my gude gray steed. When he cam to our guid king's yet. He sought a glass o' wine for young Hynhorn's sake. He drank out the wine an' he put in the ring, An' he bade them carry't to the king's dochter Jean. O gat ye't by sea, or gat ye't by Ian', Or gat ye't aff a dead man's han' .?
