irAnnie, the spirit of the lady, who dies of a brokenheart, is made to visit the bridal bed of her betrayer:— When night was come, and day was gone, And a men boun to bed,Sweet Willie and the nut-browne bride In their chamber were laid. They werena weel lyen down, And scarcely fan asleep,Whan up and stands she, Fair Annie, Just up at Willies feet. Weel brook ye o your brown brown bride, Between ye and the waiAnd sae will I o my winding sheet,That suits me best ava. Weel brook ye o your brown brown bride, Between ye and the stock;And sae will I o my black black kist, That has neither key nor lock. Weel brook ye o your brown brown bride, And o your bridal bed;And sae will I o the cald cald mools, That soon will hap my head. Sae Willie raise, put on his claes,Drew till him his hose and shoon, And he is on to Annies bower,By the lei light o the moon. * * St * The lasten bower that he came till, O heavy was his care!The waxen lights were burning bright, And Fair Annie streeket there. 163
