3 That's the love I bear thee!

I swear and vow, that only thou

Shall ever be my Dearie.

Only thou I swear and vow,

Shall ever be my dearie.

Lassie, say thou lo'es me;

Or if thou wilt na be my ain,

Say na thou'lt refuse me:

If it winna, canna be,

Thou for thine may chuse me,

Let me, Lassie, quickly die,

Trusting that thou lo'es me.

Lassie, let me quickly die,

Trusting that thou lo'es me.

 

MARY, I BELIEV'D THEE TRUE

I believ'd thee true,

And I was blest in thus believing;

But now I mourn that e'er I knew,

A girl so fair and so deceiving.

Few have ever lov'd like me,

Oh! I have lov'd thee too sincerely ;

And few have e'er deceiv'd like thee,.

Alas! deceived me too severely;
