Nor is there men in a your host, Dare fight us three to three Now by my sooth young Edward cry'd, Weel fitted sall ye be! Piercy sall with the eldest fight And Ethert Lunn wi' thee William of Lancastar the third And bring your fourth to me He clanked Piercy owr the head A deep wound and a sair Till the best blood o' his body Came rinnen owr his hair. Now I've slain one slay ye the two; And that's good company And if the two should slay ye baith, Ye'se get na help frae me But Ethert Lunn a baited bear Had many battles seen He set the youngest wonder sair, Till the eldest he grew keen I am nae king nor nae sic thing My word it sanna stand For Ethert shall a buffet bide, Come he aneath my brand. |
