28 'He was playing him at the Clyde's Water, Perhaps he has fa'en in:' The king he calld his divers all, To dive for his young son. 29 They div'd in thro the wan burn-bank, Sae did they outthro the other: 'We'll dive nae mair,' said these young men, 'Suppose he were our brother.' 30 Then out it spake a little bird, That flew aboon their head: 'Dive on, dive on, ye divers all, For there he lies indeed. 31 'But ye'll leave aff your day diving, And ye'll dive in the night; The pot where Young Hunting lies in, The candles they'll burn bright. 32 'There are twa ladies in yon bower, And even in yon ha, And they hae killd him Young Hunting, And casten him awa. 33 'They booted him, and spurred him, As he'd been gaun to ride, A hunting-horn tied round his neck, A sharp sword by his side 34 'The deepest pot o Clyde's Water, There they flang him in, Laid a turf on his breast-bane, To had Young Hunting down.' 35 Now they left aff their day diving, And they dived on the night; The pot that Young Hunting lay in, The candles were burning bright. 36 The king he calld his hewers all, To hew down wood and thorn, For to put up a strong bale-fire, These ladies for to burn. 37 And they hae taen her Lady Katharine, And they hae pitten her in; But it wadna light upon her cheek, Nor woud it on her chin, But sang the points o her yellow hair, For healing the deadly sin. 38 Then they hae taen her Lady Maisry, And they hae put her in: First it lighted on her cheek, And syne upon her chin, And sang the points o her yellow hair, And she burnt like keckle-pin. * * * * * #A. a.# 1^1. than he. 2^1. lover's. 3^3. drucken. 7^3. the green. 10^1. higher. 10^3.
