'' But where's the lady o' this castle ? " a
Says the Lammikin ; " She is in her bower sewing,"
The false nourice did sing.
" Is this the bairn o' this house ? "
Says the Lammikin ; so
" The only bairn Lord AVeire aughts,"
The false nourice did sing.
Lammikin nipped the bonnie babe,
While loud false nourice sings; Lammikin nipped the bonnie babe, w
Till high the red blude springs.
" Still my bairn, nourice,
O still him if ye can :" " He will not still, madam,
For a' his father's Ian'." oo
" 0 gentle nourice, still my bairn,
O still him wi' the keys :" " He will not still, fair lady,
Let me do what I please."
" O still my bairn, kind nourice, w
O still him wi' the ring:" " He will not still, my lady,
Let me do any thing."
" 0 still my bairn, gude nourice,
O still him wi' the knife :" n>
'" He will not still, dear mistress mine,
Gin I'd lay down my life." |
