by the faith of my right hand,
I'll have none of your gold none of your ear,
I have enough in fair Scotland,

He’s got as much land in fair Scotland,
as they can ride in a summer’s day.

And clay cold was her lilly hand,
that held the sable shroud.
So shall the fairest face appear,
when youth and years are shown;
