And when she cam to Carterhaugh,
She gaed beside the well
And there she saw the steed standing,
But away was himsell.
She hadna pu'd a double rose,
A rose but only twae.
When up and started young Tamlane,
^' Says Lady, thou pu's nae mae
! ;
'^ Why pu' ye the rose, Janet,
Within this gaj'den greue.
And a' to kill the bonny babe.
That we got us between
" The truth ye'll tell to me, Tamlane;
A word ye mauna lie
Gin efe ye was in haly chapel.
Or sained * in Christentie."
" The truth I'll tell to thee, Janet,
A word I winna lie
A knight me got, and a lady me bore.
As well as they did thee.
^' Randolph, Earl Murray,^ was my sire,
Dunbar, Earl March, is thine ;
We loved when we were children small.
Which yet you well may mind.
" When I was a boy just turned of nine.
My uncle sent for me.
To hunt, and hawk, and ride with hina,
And keep him cumpanie.
* Hallowed.
