“Four and twenty at her back
And they were a clad out in green;
Tho the King of Scotland had been there
The warst o them might hae been his Queen.
On we lap and awa we rade
Till we cam to yon bonny ha
Whare the roof was o the beaten gold
And the floor was o the cristal a.”

A Youth to Fortune and to Fame unknown,
Fair Science frownd not on his humble birth,
And Melancholy markd him for her own.”
