THE DAEMON LOVER
v
' I might hae had a noble lady,
Far, far beyond the sea; I might hae had a noble lady,
Were it no for the love o' thee.'—
VI
' If ye might hae had a noble lady,
Yoursel' ye had to blame; Ye might hae taken the noble lady,
For ye kenn'd that I was nane.'—
VII
' O fause are the vows o' womankind, But fair is their fause bodie :
I wad never hae trodden on Irish ground, Were it no for the love o' thee.'—
VIII
' If I was to leave my husband dear,
And my wee young son alsua, O what hae ye to tak' me to, If with you I should gae ?'—
IX
' I hae seven ships upon the sea, The eighth brought me to land;
With mariners and merchandise, And music on every hand.
x
' The ship wherein my love sail sail
Is glorious to behowd; The sails sail be o' the finest silk, And the mast o' beaten gowd.' 124 |
