THE KNIGHT AND SHEPHERD'S DAUGHTER—P

[_]

Findlay's MSS, I, 208, from Mr McKenzie, Advie, Morayshire.

1

'Tis said a shepherd's ae daughter
Kept sheep upon a hill,
An by there cam a courteous knight,
An he wad hae his will.

2

He's taen her by the milk-white hand
An by the grass-green sleeve,
He's laid her doon at the fit o a bush,
An neer ance speired her leave.
