LAMKIN.

" And wha's blood is this," he says,
"That lies in my ha'?"                           so
" It is your young son's heart's blood; Tis the clearest ava."

That sat upon the tree ; But sairer grat Lamkin,                               as
When he was condemn'd to die.
And bonny sang the mavis
Out o' the thorny brake ; But sairer grat the nourice,
When she was tied to the stake. u»
