Lord Jamie Douglas
JAMIE DOUGLAS—N
[_]
Motherwell's Minstrelsy, Appendix, p. v, the last three
stanzas.
1
She looked out at her father's window,
To take a view of the countrie;
Who did she see but Jamie Douglas,
And along with him her children three!
2
There came a soldier to the gate,
And he did knock right hastilie:
‘If Lady Douglas be within,
Bid her come down and speak to me.’
3
‘O come away, my lady fair,
Come away now alang with me,
For I have hanged fause Blackwood,
At the very place where he told the lie.’
