THE DUKE OF ATHOL Was taken downfrom the recitation of an Idiot boy in Wishaw. " I am gaing awa, Jeanie, I am gaing awa, I am gaing ayont* the saut seas, I'm gaing sae far awa." " What will ye buy to me, Jamie, What will ye buy to me?" " I'll buy to you a silken plaid, And send it wi' vanitie." " That's na love at a', Jamie, That's na love at a'; Ayont—beyond.
171 All I want is love for love. And that's the best ava.* " Whan will ye marry me, Jamie, Whan will ye marry me? Will ye tak me to your countrie, Or will ye marry me?" " How can I marry thee, Jeanie, How can I marry thee ? — Whan I've a wife and bairns three, Twa wad na weill agree." " Wae be to your fause tongue, Jamie, Wae be to your fause tongue; Ye promised for to marry me, And has a wife at hame ! "But if your wife wad dee, Jamie, And sae your bairns three, Wad ye tak me to your countrie, Or wad ye marry me? Ava—of all.
