THE DEATH OF PARCY REED
XVI
' If they be five, and we be four, Sae that ye stand alang wi' me,
Then every man ye will take one, And only leave but two to me:
We will them meet as brave men ought, And make them either fight or flee.'—
XVII
' We mayna stand, we canna stand, We daurna stand alang wi' thee ;
The Crosiers haud thee at a feud,
And they wad kill baith thee and we.'—
XVIII
' O turn thee, turn thee, Johnie Ha',
O turn thee, man, and fight wi me ; When ye come to Troughend again,
My gude black naig I will gie thee ; He cost full twenty pound o' gowd, Atween my brother John and me.'—
XIX
'1 mayna turn, I canna turn,
I daurna turn and fight wi' thee; The Crosiers haud thee at a feud,
And they wad kill baith thee and me.'—
XX
' O turn thee, turn thee, Willie Ha',
O turn thee, man, and fight wi' me ; When ye come to Troughend again, A yoke o' owsen I'll gie thee.'— 770 |
