Macmath MS., p. 72, communicated January 13, 1883, by Dr Robert Trotter, as remembered from the recitation of his father, Dr Robert Trotter, of Dalry, Kirkcudbrightshire.
1
They askëd him and speirëd him,And unto him did say,
‘O saw ye ocht o an armed band,
As ye cam on your way?’

He jested them and jeerëd them,And thus to them did say,
‘O I saw nocht but a fairy troop,
As I rode on my way.’
