FAUSE FOODRAGE.<br />

King Easter has courted her for her lands,<br />

King Wester for her fee.<br />

King Honour for her comely face.<br />

And for her fair bodie.<br />

They had not been four months married,<br />

As I have heard <strong>the</strong>m tell,<br />

Until <strong>the</strong> nobles <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> land<br />

Against <strong>the</strong>m did rebel.<br />

And <strong>the</strong>y cast kevils* <strong>the</strong>m amang.<br />

And kevils <strong>the</strong>m between ;<br />

And <strong>the</strong>y cast kevils <strong>the</strong>m amang,<br />

Wha suld gae kill <strong>the</strong> king.<br />

• Kevils— Lots.
