4. _Two stanzas, much as in #A b#, #f#._

5.

But take me by the milk-white hand,

An lead me down right hoolie,

An set me in a dowie, dowie glen,

That I mauna see the fall o Airly.

6.

He has taen her by the shouther-blade

An thurst her down afore him,

Syne set her upon a bonnie knowe-tap,

Bad her look at Airly fa’ing.

_Here follows a stanza (6) not found elsewhere, no doubt

Cunningham’s_:

Haste! bring to me a cup o gude wine,

As red as ony cherrie;

I’ll tauk the cup, an sip it up;

Here’s a health to bonnie Prince Charlie!
