104 THE DTJKE OF GOEDOn'9 DAITGHTEE.
When he came to Aberdeen,
And down upon the green, so
There did he see Captain Ogilvie,
Training up his men.
" O wo to you, Captain Ogilvie,
And an ill death thou shalt die; For taking to my daughter, 35
Hanged thou shalt be."
Duke Gordon has wrote a broad letter,
And sent it to the king, To cause hang Captain Ogilvie,
If ever he hanged a man. «
" I will not hang Captain Ogilvie,
For no lord that I see; But I'll cause him to put off the lace and scarlet,
And put on the single livery."
"Word came to Captain Ogilvie, «
In the chamber where he lay, To cast off the gold lace and scarlet,
And put on the single livery.
" If this be for bonny Jeany Gordon,
This pennance I'll take wi'; «
If this be bonny Jeariy Gordon, All this I will dree." |
