About Zule, quhen the wind blew cule, And the round tables began,
A'! there is cum to our kings court Mony a well-favourd man.
The queen luikt owre the castle wa', Beheld baith dale and down,

His horsemen rade behind; Ane mantel of the burning gowd
Did keip him frae the wind.
Gowden graith'd his horse before,
And siller shod behind; The horse zoung Waters rade upon
Was fleeter than the wind.
But then spake a wylie lord,
Unto the queen said he : " O tell me quha 's the fairest face
Rides in the company ? " |
