SIR JAMES THE ROSE.
O heard you of Sir James the Roſe,
the young heir o'Buleighan?
For he has kill'd a gallant 'Squire,
Whaſe friends are out to tak him.
Now he has gane to the houſe o'Mar,

To ſee his dear he did repair,
Weining ſhe would befriend him.
Whar are you gaing Sir James? ſhe ſaid,
O whar awa' are ye riding?
I maun be bound to a foreign land,
and now I'm under hiding.
Whar fall I gae, whar fall I rin,
whar fall i rin to lay me?
For I hae kill'd a gallant 'Squire,
and his friends ſeek to ſlay me.
O gae ye down to yon laigh houſe,
I fall pay there your lawing:
And as I am your leman trew,
I'll meet you at the dawing.
He turn'd him richt and round about,
and row'd him in his brechan;
