313 CANTO III.''' Kow frae tli' cast nook of Fife t the dawn Speel'd westlines up the lift. Carles wha heard the cock had craw'n, Begoud to rax and rift; And greedy Mdves wi' girning thrawn, Cry'd las&es up to thrift ; Dogs barked, and the lads frae hand Bang'd to their breeks like drift. Be break of day. * Ramsay likewise prefixes to this Canto a summary of its contents:— " Ctuious to know," he says, "how ray bridal folks would look next day after the marriage, I attempted this tliird Canto, which opens with a description of the morning; then the friends come and present tlieir gifts to the newmarried couple; a view is taken of one girl (Kirsh), who had come fairly off, and of Mause who had stumbled with the laird ; next, a scene of drinking is represented, and the young goodman is creeled ; then the character of- the smith's illnatured shrew is drawn, which leads in the description of riding the stang; next, Maggy Murdy has an exemplary character of a good wise wife; deep drinking and bloodless quar- rels make an end of an old tale." f Where day must break upon my company, if, as I have observed, the scene is at Lesly Church.— Ramsay mistook the place where the scene of James's poem was laid, imagining it to be Lesly in the county of Fife, instead of the place of the same name in Aberdeenshire.
