The nuptial vow, the bridal glee- How Mary Scott, the forest flower. Was borne a bride to Torwoodlee.
Diamond and ruby rayed her waist. And twinkled round her brow so fair ; She wore more gold upon her breast Than would have bought the hills of Yair.
io6 THE QUEEN'S WAKE.
Old Tushilaw deigned not to smile, No grateful word his tongue could say ; He took one kiss, blessed her the while, Wiped his dark eye, and turned away, Lord Pringle's hills were stocked anew, Drove after drove came nightly fr...ee ; But many a border Baron knew Whence came the dower to Torwoodlee.
The Seventeenth Bard.
Forth stepped he with uncourtly bow ; The heron plume waved o'er his brow ; His garb was blent with varied shade, And round him hung his Highland plaid. But woe to Southland dame and knight, In minstrels' tale who took delight. Though known the air, the song he sung Was in the barbarous Highland tongue : But tartan'd chiefs in raptures hear The strains, the words to them so dear.
Thus ran the lx>ld portentous lay, As near as Southron tongue can say.
