She's called upon her maids by seven, 25 To mak his bed baith saft and even: She's called upon her cooks by nine, To make their dinner fab* and fine. When day was gane and night was come, " What ails my love on me to frown ? so " Or does the wind blow in your glove, Or runs your mind on another love ? " " Nor blows the wind within my glove, Nor runs my mind on another love ; " ;i But I not maid nor maiden am, es For I'm wi' bairn to another man. " 160 BOTHWELL. " I thought I'd a maiden sae meek... and sae mild, But I've nought but a woman wi' child. " His mother's taen her up to a tower, And lockit her in her secret bower : o t' Now doughter mine, come tell to me, Wha's bairn this is that you are wi'. " " O mother dear, I canna learn "Wha is the father of my bairn. " But as I walk'd in the lowlands my lane, 45 I met a gentleman gallant and fine ; " He keepit me there sae late and sae lang, Frae the ev'ning late till the morning dawn ; " And a' that he gied me to my propine, 49 Was a pair of green gloves, and a gay gold ring, " Three lauchters of his yellow hair, In case that we shou'd meet nae mair.
