220 MlNSTllELSV Ol THOMAS THE RHYMER. PART THIRD. When seven years more were eouie and Was war through Scotland spread, And Ruberslaw shewVl high Dunyon His beacon blazing red. Then all by bonny Coldingknow, Pitch\l palliouns took their room, And crested helms, and spears a roMe, Glanced gaily through the broom. Hie Leader, rolling to the Tweed, Resounds the ensenzie ;* They roused the deer from C'addenhead, To distant Torwoodlee. * Enscii-.k—War-cry, or gathering word.
THE SCOTTISH BORDER. 221 The feast was spread in Ercildoune, . In Learmonfs high and ancient liall And there were knights of great renown, And ladies, laced in pall. Nor lacked they, while they sat at dine. The music nor the tale, Nor goblets of the blood-red wine, Nor mantling quaighs * of ale. True Thomas rose, with harp in hand. When as the feast w^as done : (In minstrel strife, in Fairy Land, The elfin harp he won.) Husli'd were the throng, both limb and tongue, And harpers for envy pale ; And armed lords leaned on their swords. And hearkened to the tale. In numbers high, the witching tale The prophet pour\l along No after bard might e'er avail -f- Those numbers to prolong. * Quaighs—Wooden cups, composed of staves hooped together- I See introduction to this ballad. ; :
