The first word that Sir Patrick read,
Sae loud loud laughed he ; The neist word that Sir Patrick read,
The tear blindit his e'e. *>
" O wha is this has done this deed,
And tauld the king o' me, To send us out at this time of the year,
To sail upon the sea ?
" Be it wind, be it weet, be it hail, be it sleet, Our ship must sail the faem ; 26
The king's daughter of Noroway, 'Tis we must fetch her hame."
They hoysed their sails on Monenday morn Wi' a' the speed they may ; so
They hae landed in Noroway Upon a Wodensday.
They hadna been a week, a week,
In Noroway, but twae, When that the lords o' Noroway ss
Began aloud to say :
" Ye Scottishmen spend a' our king's goud,
And a' our queenis fee." " Ye lie, ye lie, ye liars loud !
Fu' loud I hear ye lie! m |
