 ANONYMOUS

From Whinny-muir when thou may'st pass,

Every nighte and alle, To Brig o' Dread thou com'st at last;

And Christe receive thy saule.

From Brig o' Dread when thou may'st pass,

Every nighte and alle y To Purgatory fire thou com'st at last;

And Christe receive thy saule.

If ever thou gavest meat or drink,

Every nighte and alle y The fire sail never make thec shrink;

And Christe receive thy saule.

If meat or drink thou ne'er gav'st nane,

Every nighte and alle, The file will burn thee to the bare bane;

And Christe receive thy saule.

This ae nighte, this ae nighte,

Every nighte and alle y Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,

And Christe receive thy saule.
