Page:Sir Neil & Glengyle.pdf/2

Rh A knight Sir Neil, had wooed her long, Expecting soon to marry; A young highland Laird his suit preferred Young, handsome, brisk and airy.

Long she respected brave Sir Neil, Because he wooed sincerely; But as soon as she saw the young Glengyle He won her most entirely. Till some lies unto her brother came, That Neil had boasted proudly, Of favours from that lady young, Which made hinhim [sic] vow thus rudely.

I swear by all our friendship past. Before this hour next morning; This knight or I shall breath our last. He shall know who he’s scorning. To meet on the shore, where loud waves roar, In a chaallange he defied him, the sun was up these young men met, No living creature nigh them.
