THE BATTLE OF OTTERBURN—D

[_]

Finlay's Scottish Ballads, I, xviii f; from recitation.

1

Then out an spak a little wee boy,
And he was near o Percy's kin:
Methinks I see the English host
A coming branking us upon.

2

Wi nine waggons scaling wide,
And seven banners bearing high;
It wad do any living gude
To see their bonny colours fly.
