i6. King Henry |

|
L
ET never a man a wooing wend jThat lacketh thingis three ; A routh o' gold, an open heart And fu' o' courtesve.
II As this I speak of King Henry,
For he lay burd-alone; An' he's doen him to a jelly hunt's ha'
Was seven mile frae a town.
in
He 's chased the deer down him before,
An' the roe down by the den, Till the fattest buck in a' the flock
King Henry he has slain.
IV
O he has doen him to his ha'
To make him bierly cheer; An' in it came a griesly ghost
Steed stappin' i' the fleer.
v
Her head hat the roof-tree o' the house,
Her middle ye weel mot span ; He 's thrown to her his gay mantle,
Says, ' Lady, hap your lingcan.'
