THE MILLER

The Miller's rung did deeds o' weir,
For mortal fray it aye was ready;
The Miller kent neither sloth nor fear
When he fought for king or bonnie leddy!

143

His head was pruif o' stane or steel,
His skin was teugher than bend-leather;
He could pu' against his ain mill-wheel,
Or snap in bits his horse's tether.
