10 ' I have a coffer full of gold, Another of white monie, And I will build a bonny ship, And set my love to sea. 11 ' Silk shall be your sailing-clothes, Gold yellow is your hair, As white like milk are your twa hands, Your body neat and fair. ' 12 This lady, with her fair speeches, She made the boy grow bold, And he began to kiss and clap, And on his love lay hold. 13 And she has built a bonny ship, Set her love to the sea, Seven score o brisk young men To bear him companie. 14 Then she 's ta...en out a gay gold ring, To him she did it gie : ' This will mind you on the ladie, Willie, That 's laid her love on thee. ' 15 Then he 's taen out a piece of gold, And he brake it in two : ' All I have in the world, my dame, For love I give to you. ' 16 Now he is to his bonny ship, And merrily taen the sea ; The lady lay oer castle-wa, The tear blinded her ee. 1 7 They had not saild upon the sea A week but barely three When came a prosperous gale of wind, On Spain's coast landed he. 18 A lady lay oer castle-wa, Beholding dale and down, 404 252.
