The eldest she was vexed sair, And sair envied her sister fair.

Upon a morning fair and clear, She cried upon her sister dear :

' O sister, sister, tak my hand.
And we'll see our father's ships to land.7

She 's ta'en her by the lily hand, And led her down to the river-strand.

The youngest stood upon a stane. The eldest cam and push'd her in.

' O sister, reach me but your glove ! And sweet William sail be your love.'— 104 |
