Page:Famous battle between Captain Ward and the rainbow (1).pdf/6

 For captain Ward he is too strong,
 * he never will be ta'en.

O everlasting shame, said the king,
 * I have lost jewels three,

Which would have gone unto the sea,
 * and brought proud Ward to me.

The first was brave Lord Clifford,
 * great Earl of Cumberland,

The second was my Lord Mountjoy,
 * as you shall understand;

The third was brave Lord Essex,
 * from field would never flee,

Who would have gone unto the sea,
 * and brought proud Ward to me.

Wha wadna be in love
 * wi' bonny Maggy Lauder?

A piper met her gaun to Fife,
 * an' spier'd what was't they ca'd her;

Right scornfully she answer'd him,
 * begone, you hallanshaker,

Jog on your gare, you bladderskate,
 * my name is Maggy Lauder.
