But forbade you him to slay."

He was a braw gallant,
And he rid at the ring;
And the bonny Earl of Murray,

Was the flower amang them a'.

He was a braw gallant,
And he playd at the glove;
And the bonny Earl of Murray,
Oh he was the Queen's love!

Eer she see the Earl of Murray
Come sounding thro the town!
Eer she, etc.
