EDINBURGH—

�fair Margarets misfortunes.
As it fell out upon a day,
two lovers they sat upon a hill:
They sat together a long summed day,
and could not take their fill.
1 see no harm hy you Marjaret,
and you sec none by me;
Before to morrow at eight clock,
a rich we J ding you shall sot*
Fair Margaret sat in her bower window
a combing of her hair ;
There 6he ip>M sweet William and bri If,
as they were a riding near.
©own the laid her iv.ry comb,
and up she bound her hair,
She went away forth from the bower,
and never more e&jse there.
Whc-n day was gone, and night was iiosae,
and all m:n frst asleep,
There came the spirit of Pair Margaret,
and stood at WillismVbed-feet.
�God give you joy, you true lovers,
in bride-bed fast asleep,
Lo 1 I a« going to my green-gTais grove,
an] I am is my winding sheet
When Jay was come aad ni^ht was gone,
and all men wak'd from sleep.
Sweet Wilium to his lady said,
my dear, I've cause to weep.
I dream'd a dream my dear Lidy
such dreams are never good s
I dream'd thy bow'r was full of red swfne,
and thy bride-bed ful of blood*
Such dreams such dreams, my honoured Sir,
they never do prjve good ;
To dretaa my bower was full of red swin?,
and my bri'le-bed full of blood.
He called up his merry men ail,
by one by two and by three,
Saying, I'll away to fair Margaret's bower,
by the have of ray fair lady.
And when he came to fair Margaret's bo*er,
he knocked at t'.e ring:
�4
So ready were the seven bn tbren
to let 8wetf William in,
Then he turned up the winding s^eet,
pray let me set the dead
Methinks she looks both pale anl wan,
she ba4 lost her cherry reJ.
I will do more for the«, Margtiet,
th»n any of thy kio,
For \ will kisa thy psle wan lips,
though a w$iie I cannot win.
With that Uspokt the seven brethren,
making most piteous moan,
You may go kiss your jolly brow* dame,
and let our sister alone.
If I do kiss my jolly brown dame,
I da but what is right,
For I made DO VOW to your sister dear,
by day nor yet by eight.
Fray tel/ me then how much you'll deal
oi white bread and of wine,
So mnc i as is dealt at he,; funeral to-iay,
t;-mcrrcw shall be desit ss mine.

They greJ* a« high a« the church top,
'till they could grow no Hghsr ;
A*d there grew in a True-lover'a knot,
that mado all people admire.
Then came the clerk of the pariah,
as you this truth ahall hear,
And by misfortunes cut them dowa,
or they had BOW b2en there.
A COGIE OF ALE.
A C O G I E of ale, and a pickle alt meal,
And a dainty wee drappie o' whisky,

The weary pun& the weary punl>
The weary pnnd o' tow;
I think my wife will and her life
Before she spin her tow,
I bought m? wife a staae o' lint,
as good as e'er did grow,
And a that she has made o' tint
Is ae puir puud o tow.
The-e sat a bottle in a nook
Ayont the ingle low,
And ay she took the ither souk
to drouk the stourie tow.
Quoth I, for shame, ye dirty dame,
Gae 6pin your tap o* tow:
She took the rock, and w: knock,
She brak it o'er my pow.
At last her feet, (I fang to tee't)
Gaed foremost o'er a knowe;
And ere I wed another j&de,
I'll wallop in a tow.

SONG IN R3S1M
When William at eve meets me dowa at the »til<%
UQW gwtet is the nightingale^ song,
Of the day I forget all the labour and toil
whilst the mo< n plays yon branches ameeg.
By her beams without blushing I hear hitt complain
and believe every word of his seng:
You know tot bow sweet Hi* to love the dear swab),
whilst the moon plays yon branches among.
FINIS.
