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.

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?’

‘O I saw nocht but a fairy troop,
As I rode on my way.’
