Tamlane

TAM LIN—N

[_]

“Scotch Ballads, Materials for Border Minstrelsy,” No 96 a; in the handwriting of John Leyden.

‘Gowd rings I can buy, Thomas,
Green mantles I can spin,
But gin ye take my maidenheid
I'll neer get that again.’
Out and spak the queen o fairies,
Out o a shot o wheat,
‘She that has gotten young Tamlane
Has gotten my heart's delight.’
