But when the time drew near an end^
That she suld hghter be.
She cast about to find a wile.
To set her body free.
O she has birled these merry young men
With the ale but and the wine.
Until they were as deadly drunk
As any wild wood swine.
" O narrow, narrow, is this window.
And big, big, am I grown !"
Yet, thro' the might of Our Ladj'^;,
Out at it she has gone.
She wandered up, she wandered down.
She wandered out and in ;
And, at last, into the very swine's sty the,
The queen brought forth a son.
Then they castkevik them amang.
Which suld gae seek the queen
And the kevil fell upon Wise William,
And he sent his wife for him.
O when she saw Wise William's wife.
The queen fell on her knee ;
*' Win up, win up, madame !" she says
" What needs this courtesie ?"
" G out o' this I winna rise.
Till a boon ye grant to me
To cheinge your lass for this lad baini^
King Honour left me wi'.
