xS ow, come to me, my little page,<br />

*' Of wit sae AvondVous sly !<br />

Ne'er under flower, o"" youthfu' age,<br />

" I'll dance and revel wi' <strong>the</strong> rest<br />

" Within this castle rai'e;<br />

" Yet he shall rue <strong>the</strong> drearie feast,<br />

" JBot and his lady fair.<br />

" For ye maun drug Kirkpatrick's wine,<br />

" Wi' juice o' poppy flowers<br />

" Nae mair he'll see <strong>the</strong> morning shine<br />

" Frae proud Caerlaveroc's towers.<br />
