A Ballad Book, by Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe, edited by David Laing, p. 157 f, vii; from Sir W. Scott's recollection.

‘Seven years ye shall be a stone,
[OMITTED]
For many a poor palmer to rest him upon.
And you the fair maiden of Gowden-gane

‘Seven years ye'll be porter of hell,
And then I'll take you to mysell.’

[OMITTED]

‘Weel may I be a' the other three,
But porter of hell I never will be.’
And I, etc.
