ELLEN IRWIN,
Or the BRAES of KIRTLE.[1]
Fair Ellen Irwin, when she sate
Upon the Braes of Kirtle,
Was lovely as a Grecian Maid
Adorn'd with wreaths of myrtle.
Young Adam Bruce beside her lay,
And there did they beguile the day
With love and gentle speeches,
Beneath the budding beeches.
- ↑ The Kirtle is a River in the Southern part of Scotland, on whose banks the events here related took place.
