" It is meet we remember him ; never again Will such foot as old Will's kick a ball o'er the plain, Or such hand as his, warm with the warmth of the soul, Bid us welcome to Yetholm, to bicker and bowl. Oh, the voice that could make the air tremble and ring With the great-hearted gladness becoming a king. Is silent, is silent ; oh, wail for the day When Death took the Border King, brave Willie Faa. " No dark Jeddart prison e'er closed upon him. The last lord of Egypt ne'er wore gyve on limb. Tho...ugh his grey locks were crownless, the light of his eye Was kingly — his bearing majestic and high. Though his hand held no sceptre, the stranger can tell That the fiill bowl of welcome became it as well ; The fisher or rambler, by river or brae. Ne'er from old Willie's hallan went empty away. " In the old house of Tetholm we've sat at the board, The guest, highly honoured, of Egypt's old lord. And mark'd his eye glisten as oft as he told Of his feats on the Border, his prowess of old. It is meet, when that dark eye in death hath grown dim, That we sing a last strain in remembrance of him.
