" Yea, I ha seen Sir James,"'she said,
" He past by here on Monday; Gin the steed be swift that he rides on, as
He's past the Hichts of Lundie."
But as wi speid they rade awa,
She leudly cryd behind them ; " Gin ye'll gie me a worthy meid,
I'll tell ye whar to find him." to

" He's in the bank aboon the mill, In the lawlands o' Buleighan."
Than out and spak Sir John the Graham, 45 Who had the charge a keiping,

They seized his braid sword and his targe, And closely him surrounded : so
