156 MINSTJIELSY OF
CHRISTIE'S WILL.
'IVauuair has ridden up Chapelhope,
And sae lias he down by the Gray Mare's Tail ;*
He never stinted the light gallo]),
Until he spcer'd for Christie"'s Will.
Now Christie's Will peep'd frae the tower,
And out at the shot-hole kecked he ;
" And ever unlucky," quo' Jie, " is the hour,
" That the warden comes to spcer for me !"
Good Christie's Will, now, have nae fear !
" Nae harm, good AVill, shall hap to thee :
I saved thy life at the Jeddart air,
" At the Jeddart air frae the justice tree.
