195 THE GYPSIE 1.ADDIE, ^The story upon which this ballad is founded is said to be as follows : ^ That the Earl of Cassillis had married a nobleman's daugh- ter contrary to her wishes, she having been previously engaged to another j but that the persuasion and importu- nity of her friends at last brought her to consent : That Sir John Faw of Dunbar, her former lover, seizing the op- portunity of the Earl's absence on a foreign embassy, dis- guised himself and a number of his retainers as gypsies, and carried off the lady, * nothing loth :' That the Earl having returned opportunely at the time of the commis- sion of the act, and nowise inclined to participate in his consort's ideas on the subject, collected his vassals, and pursued the lady and her paramour to the borders of Eng- land, where, having overtaken them, a battle ensued, in which Faw and his followers were all killed or taken prisoners, excepting one, the meanest of them all, Who lives to weep and sing their fall.
