O meikle was the good red wine
In silver cups gaed round ; *>

" 0 came ye here for sport, young man,
Or came ye here for play ? Or came ye for our bonnie bride, «
On this her wedding day ? "
" I came not here for sport," he said,
" Neither did I for play ; But for one word o' your bonnie bride,
I'll mount and go away." w
They set her maids behind her,
To hear what they would say ; But the first question he ask'd at her
Was always answered nay; The next question he ask'd at her &?
Was, "Mount and come away?" |
