WILLIE AND EARL RICHARD'S DAUGHTER—C

[_]

Kinloch MSS, V, 330 f, the last two stanzas of ‘Douglass Dale.’

1

Mony ane speaks o grass, o grass,
And mony mare o corn,
And mony ane sings o Robin Heed
Kens little whare he was born.

2

He was born in good green wood,
At the fut o yon olive tree;
His father was a knight's ae son,
And his mother a lady free.
