Sir Hugh le Blond
SIR ALDINGAR—C
1
They've putten her into prison strang,A twalmon lang and mair,
Until the mice and wild rattens
Did tear her yallow hair.
2
‘One shake o your han,’ said Rodingham,‘One shak o your han gie me:’
‘I cam na here for shaking hans,
But to fight maist desperatelie.’
3
‘It's nae ten strucken on the clock,Nor eleven on the bell:’
‘We'll doe ill deeds anew ere night,
Tho it were strucken twall.’
