But you are a true and a warlike lord, And this is the choice we'll gie Either to marry the lady we've named, Or swing like a rogue on a tree. " 12 ( Bon-*Accord "Booklets " My Liege ! my Sire ! my Sovereign Lord ! I've used no wizardrie, And if I have won the heart of this maid, The prize was unsought by me. And if my choice be to wed or to hang, My sire, I must lose my life, For how can I wed Lady Arabel Stewart, And leave a better-loved wife ? " " And who may be this wife, Lord Earl, That yo...u hold so wondrous dear ; And how does it chance that the lady's name Should never have reached our ear ? " " My wife is not sprung from noble sires Her kin are of low degree, But dear as a queen to her royal spouse Is the choice of my heart to me. V " A peasant can be but a leman, my Lord, To one that is nobly born, And, the word of a King, you'll marry our ward, Or swing ere a second grey morn ! " The brave Lord Leslie left the King, A doleful man I ween ; But a change took place in his comely face That day ere the fall of e'en.
