_Source._--Mrs. Balfour's old nurse, now in New Zealand. The original is
in broad Scots, which I have anglicised.
_Parallels._--The tradition is widespread that at the foot of the
rainbow treasure is to be found; _cf._ Mr. John Payne's "Sir Edward's
Questing" in his _Songs of Life and Death_.
_Remarks._--The "sell" at the end is scarcely after the manner of the
folk, and various touches throughout indicate a transmission through
minds tainted with culture and introspection.
