i 44 ANCIENT SONGS O wherfore fhuld I bufk my head ? Or wherfore fhuld I kame my hair r For my true love has me forfook, 15 And fays he'll never loe me mair. Now Arthur-feat fall be my bed, The meets fall neir be fyl'd by me: Saint Anton's well fall be my drink, Since my true love has forfaken me. 20 Marti'mas wind, whan wilt thou blavv, And make the green leaves afF the tree ? gentle death, whan wilt thou cum ? For of my life I am wearie. Tis not the froft, that freezes fell, 25 Nor blawing fnaws inclemencie Tis not lie cauld, that makes me cry, But my loves heart grown cauld to me. Whan we came in by Glafgowe town, We were a comely fight to fee, 3© My love was cled i' th' black velvet, And I my fell in cramasie. But had I will, before I kifst, That love had been fae ill to win ; 1 had lockt my heart in a cafe of gowd, 35 And pinnd it with a filler pin. ; Oh,
Oh oh ! ANDBALLADS, 145 if my young babe were born, And fet upon the nurfes knee, And I my fell were dead and gane! For a maid again Ife never be. 40 XII. THE WANTON WIFE OF BATH.

IN Bath a wanton wife did dwelle, As Chaucer he doth write; Who did in pleafure fpend her dayes, And many a fond delight. Upon a time fore ficke fhe was, g And at the length did dye ; And then her foul at heaven gate Did knocke moll mightilye. Firft Adam came unto the gate Who knocketh there? quoth hee. I© I am the wife of Bath, fhe fayd, And faine would come to thee. Vol. Ill, L Thou :
