OSPATRICK has sent o'er the faem: Cospatrick brought his ladye hame.
II Full seven score ships have come her wP, The ladye by the grene-wood tree.
HI There was twaP and twal' wi' baken bread, And twal' and twaP wi' the goud sae red:
IV
And twaP and twaP wi' beer and wine, And twal' and twal' wi' muskadine :
v
And twal' and twaP wi' bouted flour,
And twal' and twaP wi' paramour.

Sweet Willy was a Widow's son, And at her stirrup he did run.
VII
And she was clad in the finest pall, But aye she let the tears down fall.
VIII
' O lady, sits your saddle awry ? Or is your steed for you owre high ?

x
' I am not mourning at this tide That I suld be Cospatrick's bride :
