HYNDE HORN. " Hynde Horn's bound, love, and Hynde Horn's free ; Whare was ye born? or in what countrie?" "In gude greenwud whare I was born, And all my friends left me forlorn. " I gave my love a silver wand, That was to rule oure all Scotland. My love gave me a gay gowd ring, That was to rule abune a' thing. " As lang as that ring keeps new in hue, Ye may ken that your love loves you: But whan that ring turns pale and wan, Ye may ken that your love loves anither man."
139 He hoisted up his sails, and away sailed he, Till that he cam to a foreign countrie : He look'd at his ring, it was turn'd pale and wan, He said, " I wish I war at hame again." He hoisted up his sails, and hame sailed he, Until that he cam to his ain countrie. The first ane that he met wi' Was wi' a puir auld beggar man. " What news, what news, my silly auld man, What news hae ye got to tell to me?" "Na news, na news," the puir man did say ? "But this is our queen's wedding day." " Ye'll lend me your begging weed, And I'll gie you my riding steed." " My begging weed is na for thee, Your riding steed is na for me." But he has changed wi' the beggar man, # * * # "Which is the gate* that ye used to gae? And what are the words ye beg wi'?" * Gate—wav.
