Side 180 - wildered he drops from some cliff huge in stature, And draws his last sob by the side of his dam.
Side 28 - Then changed, I trow, was that bold baron's brow From the dark to the blood-red high; ' Now, tell me the mien of the knight thou hast seen, For, by Mary, he shall die!' 'His arms shone full bright in the beacon's red light; His plume it was scarlet and blue ; On his shield was a hound in a silver leash bound, And his crest was a branch of the yew.
Side 179 - How long didst thou think that his silence was slumber ? When the wind waved his garment, how oft didst thou start ? How many long^ days and long weeks didst thou number, Ere he faded before thee, the friend of thy heart ? And...
Side 80 - TRUE THOMAS lay on Huntlie bank ; A ferlie he spied wi' his ee ; And there he saw a ladye bright, Come riding down by the Eildon tree. Her shirt was o' the grass-green silk, Her mantle o' the velvet fyne ; At ilka tett of her horse's mane, Hung fifty siller bells and nine.

Side 82 - She mounted on her milk-white steed; She's ta'en true Thomas up behind; And aye, whene'er her bridle rung, The steed flew swifter than the wind. O they rade on, and farther on; The steed gaed swifter than the wind, Until they reached a desert wide.
