Ancient Scottish ballads, recovered from tradition, and never before ...

LORD THOMAS OF WINESBERRIE.
It fell upon a time, when the proud king of France
Went a hunting for five months and more,
That his dochter fell in love with Thomas of
From Scotland newly come o'er. [Winesherrie,
Whan her father cam hame frae hunting the deer,
And his dochter before him cam,
Her belly it was big, and her twa sides round,
And her fair colour was wan.
" What ails thee, what ails thee, my dochter Janet 7
What maks thee to look sae wan?
Ye've either been sick, and very, very sick.
Or else ye hae lain wi' a man,"
