Out then spaek the jealous king 25 (And an angry man was he): "O if he had been twice as fair, Zou micht have excepted me." "Zou're neither laird nor lord," she says, "Bot the king that wears the crown; 30 There is not a knight in fair Scotland, Bot to thee maun bow down." For a' that she could do or say, Appeasd he wade nae bee; Bot for the words which she had said, 35 Zoung Waters he maun dee. They hae taen zoung Waters, and Put fetters to his feet; They hae taen zoung Waters, and Thrown him in dungeon deep. 40 "Aft I have ridden thro' Stirling town, In the wind bot and the weit; Bot I neir rade thro' Stirling town Wi' fetters at my feet. "Aft have I ridden thro' Stirling town, 45 In the wind bot and the rain; Bot I neir rade thro' Stirling town Neir to return again." They hae taen to the heiding-hill His zoung son in his craddle; 50 And they hae taen to the heiding-hill His horse bot and his saddle. They hae taen to the heiding-hill His lady fair to see; And for the words the queen had spoke 55 Zoung Waters he did dee. BONNIE GEORGE CAMPBELL. Motherwell's _Minstrelsy_, p. 44. This, says Motherwell, "is probably a lament for one of the adherents of the house of Argyle, who fell in the battle of Glenlivat, stricken on Thursday, the third day of October, 1594 years." It is printed, somewhat differently, in Smith's _Scottish Minstrel_, v. 42. Finlay gives eight lines of this ballad in the Preface to his first volume, p. xxxiii. Hie upon Hielands, And low upon Tay, Bonnie George Campbell Rade out on a day. Saddled and bridled 5 And gallant rade he; Hame cam his gude horse, But never cam he! Out cam his auld mither Greeting fu' sair, 10 And out cam his bonnie bride Rivin' her hair. Saddled and bridled And booted rade he; Toom hame cam the saddle, 15 But never cam he! "My meadow lies green, And my corn is unshorn; My barn is to big, And my babie's unborn." 20 Saddled and bridled And booted rade he; Toom hame cam the saddle, But never cam he! LAMKIN.
