27129This is my choice: for why?
27129Thus saith my Galatea: Love long hath been deluded, When shall it be concluded?
27129Weep you no more, sad fountains; What need you flow so fast?
27129Wha is''t that sits next the wa'', But Lady Mouse, baith jimp and sma''?
27129What dost thou serve?
27129What hast thou left wherewith to move my mind, What life to quicken dead desire?
27129What heart can not a modest beauty move?
27129What is her name who bears thy heart Within her breast?
27129What is our life?
27129What is''t that sits next the bride, But the sola puddy wi''his yellow side?
27129What search hath found a being, where I am not, if that thou be there?
27129What shall I do?
27129What then is love, sings Corydon, Since Phyllida is grown so coy?
27129What?
27129When did I err in blindness?
27129When he came to the merry mill- pin,--"Lady Mouse, been you within?"
27129When, when is''t, brother?
27129Wherefore did she thus inflame My desires heat my blood, Instantly to quench the same And starve whom she had given food?
27129Whither so fast?
27129Who be they?
27129Who can tell what thief or foe, In the covert of the night, For his prey will work my woe, Or through wicked foul despite?
27129Who seeing clear day once will dream of night?
27129Who would have thought of such a change?
27129Why are you Ladies staying, And your Lords gone a- maying?
27129Why have ye cast it forth as nothing worth, Without a tomb or grave?
27129Why should not she Still joy to reign in me?
27129Why suffers my content?
27129Yet what is love, I pray thee say?
27129You woods, in whom dear lovers oft have talked, How do you now a place of mourning prove?
27129_ Gillian._ For me?
27129a play of passion: Our mirth?
27129dancing, brother Abram, dancing?
27129happy he, who not affecting( Wilbye) Have I found her?
27129if you can tell, Where doth Human Pity dwell?
27129my dear, why weep ye?
27129then why sleep ye?
27129thus''reave me Of my heart and so leave me?
27129where, brother, where?
27129which way they list?
27129who comes here with bag- piping and drumming?
27129why do you sleep When lovers wanton sports do keep?

45241But they stirred neither top nor mast*; But Sir Andrew they passed by;"What English are yonder,"said Sir Andrew,"That can so little courtesy?
45241But when they came to Choler- ford, There they met with an auld man; Says--"Honest man, will the water ride?
45241Do you not see the blazing low, And my twa legs burnt to my knee?"
45241Hast thou not got my father''s gold, But and my mither''s fee?"
45241He lifted up the coverlet, He lifted up the sheet;"How now, how now, thou little Musgrave, Doest thou find my lady sweet?"

45241O wha will guide him best?"
45241O what''s your will wi''me?"
45241O wherefore should I busk my head?
45241Oh, tell me where thy dwelling be?"
45241Or are ye my true love, sweet William, From England newly come?"
45241Or are you mourning, in your tide, That you should be Cospatrick''s bride?"

45241Or wherefore should I kame my hair?
45241Or why comes thou to Carterhaugh, Withouten my command?"
45241Out then spake a wily lord, Unto the queen said he:"O tell me wh''s the fairest face Rides in the company?"
45241Says"whether have you left with me Your bracelet or your glove?
45241Says,"Sleep you, wake you, fair Sir Gyles?
45241She''s taen the fifteen lord[s] by the hand, Saying,"Will ye come dance with me?"

45241The one of them said to his mate,"Where shall we our breakfast take?"
45241The usher said,"Yeomen, what would ye have?
45241Then out it spak the lady, As she stood on the stair,"What ails my bairn, nourice, That he''s greeting sae sair?
45241Then up and bespake the Lord Mangerton,"What news, what news, sister Downie, to me?"
45241Thy steed eats oats and hay, And thou a fair lady in thine arms,-- And wouldst thou be away?"
45241Up she starts, as white as the milk, Between him and his company:"What is the thing I hae to ask, If I should win the victory?"
45241What aileth thee at me?
45241What is your will with me?"

27401for star by star the night Falls, and her thousands world by world take flight; They die, and day survives, and what of thee?
27401hath it spread No covering splendid as the sun- god''s hair To veil or to reveal thy lordlier head?
27401is his face fairer than love''s, brighter to look upon?
27401or is their light and heat acold Whereat men warmed their spirits?
27401or who saith, rose?
27401what delight deceives?
27401who?
27401why should it start, When never a leaf of the rose- tree stirred?
43825Alas, good sir,she said,"Are you so strictly ty''d, 70 You may not with your dearest friend One hour or two abide?
43825But many a trustye friend have I, And why shold I feel dole or care? 43825 But there''s na water in the house, And what shall we do than?"
43825But what''s the little coin,she said, 35"Wald buy my castle bound?
43825Dost think for all my speech, That I would let thee go? 43825 How far are you going this way?"
43825How many of the small fishes, 65 Do swim the salt seas round? 43825 I pray,"quoth the king,"what creatures are those?"
43825If you are wearied so soon, Why did ye tryst me here?
43825In what place,sayd our king,"may be bought like to this?"
43825Is this the friendship, that You did to me protest? 43825 My father''s rich; why then Should I want store of gold?"
43825Nay, first,quoth Richard,"good- fellowe, tell me true, Hast thou noe creepers within thy gay hose?
43825Now what is the flower, the ae first flower, Springs either on moor or dale? 43825 O I am gaun to court a wife, And think na ye that''s weel dune, dune, And think na ye that''s weel dune?"
43825O hey, how mony small pennies Make thrice three thousand pound? 43825 O sae fa''you, ye courteous knight; What are your wills wi''me?
43825O whare are ye gaun?
43825O what dost thee want of me?
43825O what is longer than the way? 43825 O what need I be sorrie, madame, O what need I be sorrie, madame?
43825O what shall I do this wild boar for to see?
43825O, what dost thee mean, fair lady?
43825Or what is greener than the grass? 43825 Or what is louder than a horn?
43825Since it is so, where shall we go A match for thee to find, That art so fair and beautiful, That none can suit thy mind?
43825Tushe, Sir John,quoth his wife,"why should you frett or frowne?

43825What doth this mean,George Wharton said,"To strike in such unmanly sort?
43825What is that upon your back?
43825What is the fairest flower, tell me, That grows in muir or dale? 43825 What is the work that ye intend, Or how can we agree?
43825What''s greener than the greenest grass? 43825 What''s that ye''ve got on your arm?"
43825What''s the matter wi''you, my fair maiden, You luk so pale and wan? 43825 What, art thou a foole?"
43825Where shall I rin, where shall I gang, 45 Or where shall I gang hide me? 43825 Whom has he robb''d?
43825Why should you not?
43825Why, what dost thou think of me,quoth our king merrily,"Passing thy judgment upon me so briefe?"
43825Yes, I have lands and woods, father, Castels and touirs three; But what if she like my lands and rents Far more than she loves me? 43825 [ L56]"What tydinges heare you,"sayd the kynge,"As you ryde farre and neare?"
43825''The poor children three,''& c., can not surely mean the three sisters of Francis Bosville, who would have been coheiresses, had he made no will?

43825120 And having concluded, the young squire he Said,"From whence do you come, pray now tell me?"
43825140"What ails my heart''s delight, My Sarah dear?"
43825140"What boote wilt thou have?"
43825180"Here is a man arraign''d and cast, And brought to suffer death at last, Because your daughter dear he slew; Which if he did, what''s that to you?
4382520"Now whether is this a rich man''s house, Or whether is it a poor?"
4382520"O winna ye pity me, fair maid, O winna ye pity me?
4382520"What will you wager, Wise William?
4382520"Where will I get a little wee boy, That is baith true and steady, That will run on to bonny Gight, And bring to me my lady?"
4382525"I- wis,"quoth the miller,"this is an odd jest: What should we doe there?
4382540 Or hey, how mony small fishes Swim a''the salt sea round?"
4382540"What news, what news, my little boy?
4382540"Who calleth there,"quoth Judith then,"With such shrill sounding notes?"
438255"Whar are ye gaun, O Kempy Kaye, Whar are ye gaun sa sune?"
4382550 Can ye plow, reap, and sow the corn, And a''for meat and fee?"
4382560 The cook said,"My lady promis''d that thou[L61] Shouldest be a scullion to wait on me now:[L62] What say''st thou, girl, art thou willing to bide?"
4382560"Now cheare up, sire abbot, did you never hear yet, That a fool he may learne a wise man witt?
4382560"O had ye a stranger here last night, Who drank till the day was dawing?
4382560"Say, have you got no armour on?
4382560"Ye ha''e asked many questions, lady, I''ve you as many told;""But, how many pennies round Make a hundred pounds in gold?
4382570 Or what''s the crime that he has done, His foes they are sae mony?"
4382570"Art thou not lowsy nor scabby?"
4382575 What sweeter meat than honey?"
4382580 The sport being done, this young squire did say,"Young lady, where do you live, tell me, I pray?"
4382580"O will you we d,"her mother said,"A man you do not know, For to break your parents''heart, With shame but and with woe?"
4382590 What''s war nor an ill woman''s wish?
4382590"Why art thou angry?"
43825An hundred kisses then, For my farewel she gave; Crying,"Sweet Barnwell, when shall I Again thy company have?
43825And how xuld ony dowe ben withoute bon?
43825And what is the bird, the bonnie bonnie bird, Sings on the evening gale?"
43825And what''s the little boat,"she said,"Can sail the world all round?"
43825Art thou no run- away, prythee, youth, tell?
43825Borrowit with Chrystis angell cleir, Hend men, will ye nocht herk?
43825George Wharton cry''d,"Art thou a living man, tell me?
43825Have you no under robe of steel?
43825Have you not heard how the Trojan horse Held seventy men in his belly?
43825He led his dochter by the han'', His dochter ben brought he; 30"O is she not the fairest lass That''s in great Christendye?"
43825He went streight to the greave''s chamber, 45 And with humilitie, Said,"Have ye any kind of work For a hireman chiel like me?"
43825He''s gane to the landlady o''the house, Says,"O can you supply me?
43825Her father said,"Kind sir, I have 5 Two daughters: which do you crave?"
43825Her father said,"Why do you so?"
43825His landlord it made him to stare, 65 When he did the sight behold;"Where did thou get the white money, And where get the yellow gold?"
43825His mother ran down for to call the old knight, Who ran up to see this amazing great sight; 170 He said,"Is this Catskin we hold so in scorn?
43825How xuld I love myn lemman without longyng?
43825How xuld any brere ben withoute rynde?
43825How xuld ony cherye be withoute ston?
43825I marvell what they bee?"
43825Is this the great affection, which 35 You so to me exprest?
43825Must we have gold and land ev''ry day at command?
43825O up then started our gudeman, An angry man was he;"Will ye kiss my wife before my een, And scald me wi''pudding bree?"
43825O winna ye pity a courteous knight, Whose love is laid on thee?"
43825Or art thou not troubled with the scabbado?"
43825Or has he killed ony?
43825Or what is sharper than a thorn?
43825Or what is worse than a woman was?"
43825Or what''s the finest thing,"she says,"That king or queen can wale?
43825Or, what''s the seemliest sight you''ll see Into a May morning?"
43825Pirie''s chair, 282?
43825Quo''the fause knicht,& c. 10"Atweel it is my peit,"Quo''the wee boy,& c."Wha''s aucht they sheep?"
43825Quo''the fause knicht,& c."They are mine and my mither''s,"15 Quo''the wee boy,& c."How monie o''them are mine?"
43825Quoth David,"Who knocks there so loud, And maketh all this strife?"
43825Quoth he,"Quhair is my horsis corne?
43825Quoth he,"Shall I have my money again, Which from me thou hast before- hand ta''en?"
43825Quoth our king gentlye,"How should I forget thee?
43825Sae loudlie as they rappit at the yett, Sae loudlie as they war calling;"Had ye a young man here yestreen, 35 That drank till the day was dawing?"
43825She knocks again with might and main, And Lot he chides her straight:"Why then,"quoth she,"thou drunken ass, 35 Who bid thee here to prate?
43825The ball being ended, the''squire said then,"Pray where do you live?"
43825The court repliéd,"Is it so?
43825The pawky auld carle came o''er the lee, Wi''many goode''ens and days to me, Saying,"Goodwife, for your courtesie,"Will you lodge a silly poor man?"
43825The sense?
43825Then Adam came unto the gate:"Who knocketh there?"
43825Then did bespeak his parents dear,"Have we not many maidens here, Of country and acquaintance near, For thee to love and like?"
43825Then down came Jacob at the gate, 25 And bids her pack to hell:"Thou false deceiver, why?"
43825Then were they all full glad of this; To tell the thing they did not miss;"What stronger beast than a lion is?
43825Up then spak the Erle o''Home''s lady;"Was na ye richt sorrie, Annie, To leave the lands o''bonnie Cumbernauld, 35 And follow Richie Storie, Annie?"
43825What bird sings first?
43825What has he stole?
43825What hicher than the trees?
43825What''s deeper than the seas?
43825Which caus''d her to startle, and thus she did say; 165"What young lady''s this, son, tell me I pray?"
43825With that she knit her brows, And looking all aquoy, Quoth she,"What should I have to do 15 With any prentice boy?
43825Wou''d ye compare wi''Geordie?"

45244And what if the day of doubt and doom Shall save nor smite not me? 45244 And what shall they have to their marriage meat This day they twain are we d?"
45244And what shall they have to their wedding wine This day they twain are we d?
45244And will ye ride yon fell water, Or will ye bide for fear? 45244 And winna ye bide, sae saft ye ride, And winna ye speak wi''me?
45244And winna ye watch the night wi''me, And winna ye wake the morn? 45244 But I that know nor lord nor life More sure than storm or spray, Whose breath is made of sport and strife, Whereon shall I find stay?"
45244But if so foul a raid, father, Fell out so long agone, Why did they never build before A wall and tower of stone?
45244But what have ye done with the bearing- bread, And what have ye made of the washing- wine? 45244 But whither,"she, starting, exclaims,"have you led me?
45244Did ye ever see French Janet, That was so blithe and coy? 45244 Gin that''s the blast of Armour, laddie, I fear they''ll slay us all,""And will they slay my mother, then, That looks so bonny and small?"
45244Ha''ye searched through every convent- close, And sought in every den? 45244 I am young Malespina''s bride; Has he come hither yet?"
45244I passed and bowed before thy face, And once thine eyes met mine; Once I have kissed thy hand;-- Hast thou no sign? 45244 Is Malespina here?"
45244Many a name I know, But never a name like this; O, where shall I find a skilly man Shall tell me what it is?
45244Now who dare venture at this dark hour, Unbid to enter my maiden bower?
45244O one, one request, my lord, one and no other, O this one request will you grant it to me? 45244 O what will ye give my son to eat, Red rose leaves will never make wine?"
45244O what''s the blood of a sinful heart To bind the stones that fall? 45244 O whatten a prey wad they think to take"( Sweet fruits are sair to gather)"That they delve the dykes for a dead man''s sake?"
45244O whatten a slayer is this,they said,( Sweet fruits are sair to gather)"That the straik of his hand should raise his dead?"
45244O whatten a wreck wad they seek on land( Sweet fruits are sair to gather)"That they houk the turf to the seaward hand?"
45244O who for Erin will strike a stroke? 45244 O why do they build the tower so strong Against the riverside?
45244O, what have I done to my friend, O, what have I done to mysel'', That he should be cold and dead, And I in the danger of all? 45244 O, what shall I say to our father, In the place to which I fare?
45244O, why should I dwell here With a weird upon my life, When the clansmen shout for battle And the war- swords clash in strife? 45244 Or what will ye get my son to wear, Red rose leaves will never make wine?"
45244Or what will ye give me for my son, Red rose leaves will never make wine?
45244Or what will ye give my son for land, Red rose leaves will never make wine?
45244Or what will ye take to line his bed, Red rose leaves will never make wine?
45244Red wine to fill your fountains full? 45244 Should youth and valour thus despair, And pour their vows to the empty air?"
45244So ye chates me because I''m in grief; O, is that, by the Holy, the rason? 45244 Soldier, soldier come from the wars, Did aught take''arm to my true love?"
45244Soldier, soldier come from the wars, Did you see no more o''my true love?
45244Soldier, soldier come from the wars, Do you bring no sign from my true love?
45244Soldier, soldier come from the wars, What did you see o''my true love?
45244There''s a smirch o''pouther on your breast, Below the left lappel?
45244There''s a thrid o''hair on your dress- coat breast, Aboon the heart a wee?
45244What ails ye, bonny mower, You sit so mournfully?
45244What pleasant scenes to see the while, My Bliss on Earth, mine own?
45244What wondrous scenes therein to see, My Bliss on Earth, mine own?
45244Who''ll go and fetch the basket?
45244Will you seek with me the dim church aisle, O Mauria ni Milleôn?
45244''Twas the Bridegroom sat at the table- head, And the lights burnt bright and clear--"Oh, who is that,"the Bridegroom said,"Whose weary feet I hear?"
45244A keen sweet note from the spray''s rim springs--"What fires are these of thine?"
45244A soft strange cry from the landward rings--"What ails the sea to shine?"
45244All in white,--not ivory For young bloom past away,-- Blossom- white, rose- white, White of the May;''Twixt white dress and white neck, Who could say?
45244All up?
45244And didst thou visit him no more?
45244And to all the kindly Camerons That have lived and died long- syne-- Is this the word you send them Fause- hearted brother mine?"
45244And where does he tarry, The lord of the field?
45244And why does silence fall, As one by one they turn to her, Upon them all?
45244Are not his sandy deeps unstirred, And thrust against the shore?
45244At the fifth hour all was dimness Alike to him and her; One low and passionate murmur Still moved the air; Is it the voice of angels,-- Or her prayer?
45244At the first hour after midnight, As in the eider''s nest, The weary head sank soft into A heavenly rest; Is it a bed of roses,-- Or her breast?
45244At the first hour after midnight, The Queen nor spoke nor stirred; At the second, by her bedside, No breath they heard; They said,"Is she living?"
45244At the second hour the cold limbs Felt comfort unaware; Flickering, a golden glow Warmed all the air: Is it the hearth- flame lighted,-- Or her hair?
45244But never an answer spake St Maur, Never a word but one:"Have you finished your devil''s work, mason, Or when will the deed be done?"
45244But who is he who lingereth yet?
45244By all thy hopes of weal and bliss, Has Sir Turlough given the fatal kiss?"
45244CAPTAIN GOLD AND FRENCH JANET|The first letter our Captain wrote To the Lord of Mantua:"Did you ever see French Janet( He wrote) on any day?
45244De Lacy and D''Alton, can ye reckon your slain?
45244Do I know if mouse or song- bird feels?
45244Does the dancing languish slower?
45244Doth not a mighty ramp of sand Beleaguer all the bay, Mocking the strength of mortal hand To pierce or sweep away?
45244Faintly the words were uttered, Low, betwixt moan and moan:"Here in the wilderness, Lost and alone, I die, and far away, Hast thou known?
45244For thy dire woe, forlorn Padstow, What remedy may be?
45244Has De Netterville fled?
45244Hath Ocean, think ye then, not heard His dying child deplore?
45244Have you no prayer to set us free?
45244He turned; he felt his heart''s blood run; He sought his enemy:"And shall I leave my deeds undone, And die for such as thee?"
45244He''s lain the hammer down at last Out of his bony hand..."Did ye never hear the spell, St Maur, Gars any tower to stand?"
45244He''s set the child high in the air Upon his shoulder bone;"Shall I leave them all for Armour, Or shall I take but one?"
45244Here''s nought but a tomb and a dark cypress tree; Is_ this_ the bright palace in which thou would''st we d me?"
45244I axed if he was fit for to die, Without having duly repented?
45244I saw him glare, and dangle in air,--for the empty hole he trod-- Helped by a_ pair of hands_ up there!--the InJin''s?
45244Is it only the wind could whisper To the night?
45244Is it only the wolves of the Northland Know where his bones lie white?
45244Is she girt with babes that whine and whimper, That bright being who was always gay?
45244May I eat dirt if thou hast hurt of me in deed or breath; What dam of lances brought thee forth to jest at the dawn with Death?"
45244My Bliss on Earth,_ mo store!_* What woful deed is this you do, O youth whom I adore?
45244Now name, name those sons of fame, Who''ll match them nearer and farther?
45244O loud and lang they cried on him, And sair and sair they prayed:"Is the face of thy grace as the night''s face grim For those thy wrath has made?"
45244O, what shall I say to our mother Who greets to see me there?
45244O, you of the outland tongue, You of the painted face, This is the place of my death; Can you tell me the name of the place?"
45244Oh, the soft flutes wail and sigh; In silver falling and calling, They seek reply; And the heart is sinking, sinking, Why, ah why?
45244Oh, why is the Queen so pale to- night?
45244One sudden, lifted glance-- but one, A tremor and a start, So gently was their greeting done That who would guess their heart?
45244Only the swans could tell us, In southward flight?
45244Or where have ye made your bearing- bed, To bear a son in the sides of Tyne?"
45244Pale, pale sleeps Bronwen, pale she wakes;"What bird to my bower is flown?
45244Red blood to wash your streets?
45244Red gold to fill your moat?
45244SOLDIER, SOLDIER[ Illustration: 9165]|Soldier, soldier come from the wars, Why do n''t you march with my true love?"
45244Saved?
45244She crossed the hill to the fishing- boats, And away she sailed so fine,"Is it far, my love, in the summer sun To the shores of fair Palestine?"
45244Sobb''st beneath a carrier''s thong?
45244Still hanging?
45244Strain''st a coalman''s cart along?
45244THE TOWER OF ST MAUR|Where''s my little son, Nourrice, And whither is he gone?
45244THE WITCH- MOTHER|O where will ye gang to and where will ye sleep, Against the night begins?"
45244The Bridegroom in his robe of white Sat at the table- head--"Oh, who is that who moans without?"
45244The Bridegroom shaded his eyes and look''d, And his face was bright to see--"What dost thou here at the Lord''s Supper With thy body''s sins?"
45244The Colonel''s son a pistol drew and held it muzzle- end,"Ye have taken the one from a foe,"said he;"will ye take the mate from a friend?"
45244The shaded light of rubies Streams from every part Down the golden supper;-- Who is sick at heart?
45244The third moon swelled towards the full When the third letter he wrote:"What will ye take for Janet?
45244The upper spake to the lower,"Are ye, or do ye seem?"
45244The wanderer wept As if his heart was breaking;"And where,_ avic machree_"* he said,"Is all the merry- making I found here twenty years ago?"
45244The white heath and white harebell Let their chimes rise and fall, The delicate sheets of wood- sorrel Unfolded all, For a bed of bridal-- Or a pall?
45244Then rose,"And am I mad?"
45244Then the Roundhead General said, Fingering his sword:"Art thou coming to be we d Like a heathen lord?
45244There''s one that''s neither stark nor wan, But never he looked so well;"Shall I gang to the devil, St Maur?"
45244They sayde,"And why should this thing be?
45244They sought to free their land from thrall of stranger,-- Was it treason?
45244To receive from his Eva her virgin vow;"Why tarries the bride of my bosom now?"
45244Was it earth''s or hell''s waste womb that bore Such births as should not be?
45244What danger lowers by land or sea?
45244What did Phil do?
45244What form do they carry Aloft on his shield?
45244What light is this on a sunless shore, What gleam on a starless sea?
45244What refuge shall it win?
45244What said the Invader, that pomp in sight?
45244Whence comes that cold wind shivering Down the hall?
45244Whence comes the licht That wimples on his face?"
45244Where''s your chieftain, fierce Nangle?
45244Where, old lass, have they earthed thee down?
45244Who hurl yon planks where the waters roar?"
45244Why should I ever leave this spot, But gaze until I die?"
45244Why sing of red battle-- what dream dost thou dream?
45244Why was I born to be abhorr''d of man and bird and beast?
45244Will a swallow-- or a swift, or some bird-- Fly to her and say, I love her still?
45244Winter is here, and has not brought The Traveller of renown; Why has he not come back again To court and town?
45244With foreheads unruffled The conquerors come-- But why have they muffled The lance and the drum?
45244With swelling heart I grasped his hand; The old man murmured,"Deary, Are you the silken- headed child That loved poor Caoch O''Leary?"

45244but-- a white man shrink, when a red had passed so neat?
45244darling, darling mine, Was ever light of evening shed On loveliness like thine?
45244he cries,"Or say, shall I gang to yoursel''?"

45244quit your posts, ye cowards all?
45244straight he saith;"Where is my wife, Elizabeth?"
45244the wanderer cried,"Far, far be hell, black viper; Does anybody hereabouts Remember Caoch, the piper?"
45244we were silent then: Shall we boast and brag to- day?
45244what ails me, Nancibel?
45244what deed is this you do?
45244who shall help a houseless soul?
45244why cometh a change o''er thy theme?
45244why did the lady that little flower pass?
45244ye riders from Ormond, will ye brag in your hall, How your lord was struck down with his mail''d knights and all?
45244|O, who could lie a- snoring Or who carousing be While such a storm is roaring And raving o''er the sea?...

45243And art thou dead, thou much- lov''d youth, And didst thou dye for mee? 45243 And fear''st thou, and fear''st thou?
45243And is he gone, and is he gone?
45243And what is friendship but a name, A charm that lulls to sleep, A shade that follows wealth or fame, But leaves the wretch to weep? 45243 And will he never come again?
45243And will your mother pity me, Who am a maiden most forlorn?
45243By thy long grey beard and glittering eye, Now wherefore stopp''st thou me? 45243 D ye mind when in that lonely bower We met at even tide, I kissed your young an''rosy lips, An''wooed you for my bride?

45243Hae I left kith an''kin, Sir Knight, To turn about and rue? 45243 Hast thou seen the wounds?"
45243His cheek was redder than the rose; The comeliest youth was he? 45243 His horsemen hard behind us ride; Should they our steps discover, Then who will cheer my bonny bride When they have slain her lover?"
45243I saw the blush break on your cheek, The tear stand in your e''e; Oh, could I ween, fair Lady Jane, That then ye lo''ed na me?
45243Last night the gifted Seer did view A wet shroud swathed round ladye gay; Then stay thee, Fair, in Ravensheuch: Why cross the gloomy firth to- day?

45243Look, look, do you know them who they are, Little brother?
45243My gentle lad, what is''t you read-- Romance or fairy fable? 45243 My page, my page, what grieves thee so, That the tears run down thy face?"
45243Nay now, of the dead what can you say, Little brother?
45243Nay now, when looked you yet on blood, Little brother?
45243Nay then, shall I slay a living man, Little brother?
45243Now art thou a bachelor, Stranger?
45243O what can ail thee, knight- at- arms, So haggard and so woe- begone? 45243 Or has thy good woman, if one thou hast, Ever here in Cornwall been?
45243Our joys as winged dreams doe flye, Why then should sorrow last? 45243 Say, have they turned their horses round, Little brother?"
45243Sleep you, sweet lady Christabel? 45243 Thus let me hold thee to my heart, And every care resign: And shall we never, never part, My life,--my all that''s mine?
45243To turn the rein were sin and shame, To fight were wondrous peril,-- What would ye do now, Roland Cheyne, Were ye Glenallan''s Earl?

45243He sprang in glee,--for what cared he That the river was strong, and the rocks were steep?
45243His rising cares the hermit spied, With answering care opprest: And"Whence, unhappy youth,"he cried,"The sorrows of thy breast?

38037There need nae bason, Lamkin; Lat it run through the floor; What better is the heart''s blood O''the rich than o''the poor?
38037Wad ye ken your fause love, Amang a hundred men?
38037Wha looks to dreams, my winsome dame? 38037 Wha was your father, my girl,"she says,"Or wha was your mother?

38037Whar sall I gae, whar sall I rin, Whar sall I rin to lay me? 38037 Whare gat ye that gay claithing, 45 This day I see on thee?"
38037What ails the king at me,he said,"What ails the king at me?"
38037What brought ye here, my lady gay, So far awa from your ain countrie? 38037 What care I for Lonkin, Or any of his gang?
38037What care I for your hundred pounds? 38037 What is your will, my own wed- lord?

38037Why weep ye so, ye burgess wives, 65 Why look ye so on me? 38037 Wi me, Marg''ret, wi me, Marg''ret, 5 What wad ye do wi''me?
38037Will I go to the salt, salt seas, And see the fishes swim? 38037 Will ye gae to the cards or dice, Or to a tavern fine?
38037Will you wear the short clothes, Or will you wear the side; Or will you walk to your wedding, 155 Or will you till it ride?
38037-- 120 The boy stared wild like a gray goss- hawk, Says,--"What may a''this mean?"
38037-- 60 In anger he went to the Queen, Who fell upon her knee; He said,"You false, unchaste woman, What''s this you''ve done to me?"
38037-- Out up then spake a bonny bird, Sat high upon a tree,-- 30"How could you kill that noble lord?
38037-- Then up and spake the popinjay, 95 Says--"What needs a''this din?
38037--"But how can I gang maiden- like, When maiden I am nane?
38037--"Gar douk, gar douk,"the King he cried,"Gar douk for gold and fee; O wha will douk for Erl Richard''s sake, 65 Or wha will douk for me?"
38037--"O how sall I eat or drink, master, Wi''heart sae fu''o''pine?"
3803710 So Marie mild, where is the child?
38037100"O nourice, wanted ye your meat, Or wanted ye your fee, Or wanted ye for any thing, A fair lady could gie?"
38037100"O was ye gentle gotten, maid?
38037110"O wha was''t was your father, Annie, Or wha was''t was your mother?
38037140 The bride gan stand her lord before:"Now speak, and dinna spare; Whare is this fair young lady frae?
3803720 And whan our parish- masse was done, Our kinge was bowne to dyne: He sayes,"Where is Syr Cauline, That is wo nt to serve the wyne?"
3803720 But think na ye my heart was sair, When I laid the moul''on his yellow hair; O think na ye my heart was wae, When I turn''d about, away to gae?
3803720 Have I not born seven sons to thee, And am with child again?"
3803720 He turn''d him right and round about, And to the queen said he,--"Who is the bravest man, my dame, That ever your een did see?"
3803720 My lord he stood upon the deck, I wyte he hail''d me courteouslie;"Ye are thrice welcome, my lady gay, Whase aught that bairn on your knee?"
3803720 Now ben did come his father dear, Wearing a golden band; Says,"Is there nae leech in Edinburgh, Can cure my son from wrang?"
3803720 Queen Mary came tripping down the stair, Wi''the gold strings in her hair:"O whare''s the little babie,"she says,"That I heard greet sae sair?"
3803720"O come ye here to part your land, The bonnie Forest thorough?
3803720"O wha is this has done this deed, And tauld the king o''me, To send us out at this time of the year, To sail upon the sea?
3803720"O whare''s a''the men o''this house, That ca''me Lamkin?"
3803720"O where is his auld son?"
3803720"Why make ye all this moan, lady?
38037240"And what wold ye doe with my harpe,"he sayd, Iff I did sell it yee?"
3803730 Is Earl Robert in very good health, And the ladies of your countrie?"
3803730 Or wha will welcome your brisk bride That you bring owre the dale?"
3803730 Or what''s the matter, Fause Foodrage, Or wha has loot you in?"
3803730 Or will ye gae to a table forebye, And birl baith beer and wine?"
3803730"Where''s the ladies of the hall?"
38037335,)_ refreshed with food_?
3803740 The King said unto Rodingham,"What news have you to me?"
3803740"How far is it frae your mither''s bouer, Gude Lord John tell to me?"
3803740"I send him the rings from my white fingers, The garlands off my hair; I send him the heart that''s in my breast: What would my love have mair?
3803740"O see na ye yon castell, Ellen, That shines sae fair to see?
3803740"What hath he robbed thee of, sweet heart?
3803740"Where are the lasses o''this castle?"
3803745 And how gaes a''in your countrie?"
3803750 O where is now my wedded lord?
3803750"What''s that thou says, thou limmer loon?
3803760 Then out it speaks Sir Patrick Spens,--"O how can a''this bee?
3803760"O where will I get a gude sailor, To take my helm in hand, Till I get up to the tall topmast, To see if I can spy land?"
3803765"What is your will with mee?"
3803770 53, Should we not read_ warld''s mate_?
3803780"Will I kill her?"
3803790 Then up and spake the King himsell, When he saw the deadly wound--"O wha has slain my right- hand man, That held my hawk and hound?"
3803790"She sends you the rings from her fingers, The garlands from her hair; She sends you the heart within her breast: And what would you have mair?
3803795''Madame, how does my dow?''"
38037And aye he turn''d him round about, And smiled amang his men, 80 Says--"Like ye best the old ladye, Or her that''s new come hame?"
38037And had you ony sister, Annie, Or had you ony brother?"
38037And wha will welcome my brisk bride, That I bring o''er the dale?"
38037As I was walking all alane, I heard twa corbies making a mane; The tane unto the t''other say,"Where sall we gang and dine to- day?"
38037As they were drinking ale and wine Within kyng Estmeres halle, 10"When will ye marry a wyfe, brother, A wyfe to gladd us all?"
38037But deep into the wan water There stands a great big stone; He turned his wight horse head about, Said,"Lady fair, will ye loup on?"
38037But in and cam the Queen hersel, Wi''gowd plait on her hair;-- 20 Says,"Mary Hamilton, whare is the babe That I heard greet sae sair?"
38037But out and spak lord John''s mother, 85 And a wise woman was she:"Whare met ye wi''that bonny boy, That looks sae sad on thee?
38037But then spake a wylie lord, Unto the queen said he:"O tell me quha''s the fairest face Rides in the company?"
38037Fair Annie is till his mither gane: 125"O lady mither,"said she,"May I gang to the bridal bower, My lord''s new bride to see?"
38037Fair Christabelle to his chaumber goes, Her maydens followyng nye: 35"O well,"she sayth,"how doth my lord?"
38037Has your wine barrels cast the girds, Or is your white bread gone?
38037He never was the courteous knighte, To saye,"Faire maide, will ye ride?"
38037Hee sayth,"seest thou yond water, Ellen, That flows from banke to brimme?"
38037How can I come to thee?
38037How can I come up?
38037How dares thou stand to speak to me?
38037How often is the renowned Arthur, in such exhibitions, obliged to exclaim,"O Jhesu, what knight is that arrayed all in grene( or as the case may be)?
38037It has been suggested to the editor that the author of the poem seems to have had in his eye the story of Gunhilda, who is sometimes called Eleanor(?
38037O heard ye o''Sir James the Rose, The young heir o''Buleighan?
38037O whare''s the lady o''this house, That ca''s me Lamkin?"
38037O whatten a gift to my lemman Annie Will now by you be gi''en?"
38037Of purple or of pall?
38037Oh telle me how does thy ladye gaye, 15 And what may thy tydinges bee?"
38037Or be you not within?
38037Or came ye here to wiel''your brand, Upo''the braes o''Yarrow?"
38037Or come ye here to wield your brand, On the dowie houms of Yarrow?"
38037Or had you ever a sister dear, Or had you ever a brother?"
38037Or hae ye onie corn?
38037Or hae ye onie education, To dance alang wi''me?"
38037Or hae ye onie gerss growin''?
38037Or hath he took thy gaye gold ring From off thy finger small?"
38037Or is any of thy good friends dead, That thou shedst manye a teare?
38037Or mourn ye for the southern lass, Whom ye may not win near?"
38037Or sall I lat her be?"
38037Or was ye gentle born?
38037Or will I go to the gay green wood, 85 And hear the small birds sing?"
38037Out then came the Jew''s daughter,--"Will ye come in and dine?"
38037Page 303; lines 53, 54: added missing quotation marks("What ails the king at me,"he said,"What ails the king at me?")
38037Shall I venture my body in field to fight With a man that''s faith and troth to me?
38037She saw the flames ascending high, 105 The tears blinded her ee:"Where is the worthy knight,"she said,"Who is to fight for me?"
38037She turn''d her right and round about, 25 Says,"Why take ye sic dreads o''me?
38037Shee, all the long daye Childe Waters rode, 45 Ran barefoote by his syde, Yet was he never soe courteous a knighte, To say,"Ellen, will you ryde?"
38037Than out and cam the Jewis dochter, 5 Said,"Will ye cum in and dine?"
38037That lord is to Fair Annie gane: Says,"Annie, thou winsome may, O whatten a gude gift will ye gi''e 75 My bride on her bridal day?"
38037The King sits in Dunfermline town, A- drinking at the wine; Says,"Where will I get a good skipper Will sail the saut seas fine?"
38037The first water that they cam to, I think they call it Clyde, He saftly unto her did say,--"Lady Marg''ret, will ye ride?"
38037The king he turned him round aboute, And in his heart was woe: 100"Is there never a knighte of my round table This matter will undergoe?
38037The king sits in Dumferling[2] toune, Drinking the blude- reid wine:"O quhar will I get guid sailor, To sail this schip of mine?"
38037The king sits in Dunfermline town, Drinking the blude- red wine:"O whare will I get a skeely skipper To sail this new ship of mine?"
38037The lady she amazed was, To hear the villain speak; 70"Alas,"quoth she,"what shall I do?
38037The one of them said to his mate,"Where shall we our breakefast take?"
38037Then Christie Græme he stooped low Unto the ground, you shall understand;--"O father, put on your glove again, The wind has blown it from your hand?"
38037Then down cam Queen Marie Wi''gold links in her hair, Saying,"Marie mild, where is the child, That I heard greet sair sair?"
38037Then from the vault John Thomson came, Wringing his hands most piteouslie:"What would ye do,"the Turk he cried, 95"If ye had me as I hae thee?"
38037Then out it spak the lady, 45 As she stood on the stair,"What ails my bairn, nourice, That he''s greeting sae sair?
38037Then up and raise him, King Honour, Says--"What means a''this din?
38037Whan he had got his wills o''her, 5 His will as he has tane;"Wad ye be sae gude and kind, As tell to me your name?"
38037Whareto greets she sae sair?"
38037When he came to my lady''s gate, 5 He tirled at the pin; And wha was sae ready as the lady hersell To open and let him in?
38037Whether thou''s gotten thy deadly wound, Or if God and good leeching may succour thee?"
38037Why make ye all this moan?
38037You are both stark and stoor; Would you defile the King''s own bed, And make his Queen a whore?
38037Young Waters came before the King, Fell low down on his knee; 50"Win up, win up, young Waters, What''s this I hear o''thee?"
38037[ L30] 30 Then up and spoke the popinjay That sat upon the tree--"What hae ye done wi''Erl Richard?
38037[ L32] And that beheard his deare master As he stood at his garden pale: Sayes,"Ever alacke, my litle foot- page, 35 What causes thee to wail?

3962720 Who, when they arrived, and Robin espy''d, Cry''d"Master, what is your will?
3962720"And whither goest thou, pretty maide?
3962720"O what have they done?"
3962720"O what is the matter?"
3962720"What aileth my love Clementina?
3962720"Why, who are you,"cry''d bold Robìn,"That speak so boldly here?"
3962720"Why, who art thou?"
39627200 And when Robin came in sight of the bower,"Where are my yeomen?"
39627220"Now, and thou lese thy londe,"sayd Robyn,"What shall fall of the?"
39627240 Than bespake hym Robyn Hode, To that knyght so fre,"What nede dryveth the to grene wode?
39627260 Whan thay to thar master cam, Leytell John wold not spar;"Master, how haffe yow far yn Notynggam?
39627295 Haffe ye browt Roben hom?"
3962740 He''s ca''d upon his merry young men, By ane, by twa, and by three,"O what''s come o''my daughter dear, That she''s nae come to me?
3962740"Pedlar, pedlar, what is thy name?
3962740"What is thy name?"
3962740"Where be you, fayre Alyce, my wyfe,[L41] And my chyldren three?
3962750"Ho xal zeue the ferste schote?"
3962750"What is the matter, master,"said Little John,"That you blow so hastily?"
3962760 But what found he in the beggars bag, But three hundred pound and three?
3962760"O wha will be my bouer- woman?
3962760"What hast thou here?"
3962765 I pray you tell me; You myght thus make offycers shent: Good syrs, of whence be ye?"
3962780 But when they met with Little John, He unto them did say,"O master, pray where have you been, You have tarried so long away?"
3962780"Schall y haff yowr forty shillings,"seyde Lytel John,"Or ye, master, schall haffe myne?"
3962780"What be your nam[e]s?"
39627And of every handfull that he met He lept ouer fotes thre: 290"What devilkyns draper,"sayd litell Much,"Thynkyst thou to be?"
39627And out then spake her White Lilly; 45"My sister, we''ll be gane: Why suld we stay in Barnisdale, To mourn our bour within?"
39627And what do these names prove?
39627And when he came bold Robin before, Robin askt him courteously, 30"O hast thou any money to spare For my merry men and me?"
39627Anone then sayd good Robyn, 85 To that lady fre,"What man hath your lorde itake?"
39627Are all these traditions absolute fictions, and is he himself a pure creation of the imagination?
39627At last hee spy''d him in a park, Hunting then of the deer;"What knave is that,"quoth Robin Hood, 115"That doth come mee so near?"
39627But am not I a jolly fryer?
39627Did e''er ye see me in that place A''e foot my ground to flee?

39627Gandeleyn lokyd hym est and west Be euery syde;"Hoo hat myn mayster slayin, Ho hat don this dede?
39627Her luver looks her in the face, And thus to her said he;"I think your cheeks are pale and wan, 155 Pray, what gaes warst wi''thee?
39627How dare you stop my valour''s prize?
39627How haffe yow solde yowr war?"
39627How sayest thou, frere, wylt thou be my man, To do me the best servyse thou can?
39627I trowe, fryer, thou beginnest to dote; Who made the so malapert and so bolde, To come into this forest here, 50 Amonge my falowe dere?
39627In what countre were thou born,[L19] And where is thy wonnynge wane?
39627Is it not possible that this name reappears again in the"Young Gamwell"of_ Robin Hood and the Stranger_?
39627Is not this a holy worde for a frere?
39627Is there any of my mery men all That dare be so bolde To make the potter paie passage, Either silver or golde?
39627Is there any of my mery men all, That to that frere wyll go, And bryng hym to me forth withall, Whether he wyll or no?
39627Johan sayd,"What greveth the?
39627John, by me thou settest noe store, And that I farley finde: How offt send I my men beffore, And tarry my selfe behinde?
39627Kind gentlemen, will you be patient awhile?
39627Let me se, are thy pottes hole and sounde?
39627Lyttle John, where art thou?
39627Lytyll Johan let it lye full styll, And went to his mayster full lowe: 170"What tydynge, Johan?"
39627Might not the ballads under consideration have a basis in the exploits of a real person, living in the forests,_ somewhere_ and at_ some time_?
39627O wha will be my bouer- woman, Whan that sad time draws near?
39627O whither, fair lady, away?"
39627Or by my yellow hair?
39627Or by the paps on my breast bane?
39627Or do you weep for your maidenhead, That is taken from your body?"
39627Or gat ye e''er an angry word, That ye ran awa frae me?"
39627Or have they robbèd any virgin, 15 Or with other men''s wives have lain?"
39627Or kent ye by my milk- white breast, Ye never yet saw bare?"
39627Or tell to me where dost thou fare?"
39627Or want ye as muckle o''dear bought luve As your heart can conteen?"
39627Or why do you kill the kings ven''son, When your company is so few?"
39627Or will ye gae to the gude greenwood, Where ye will not be seen?"
39627Or with other mens wives have lain?"
39627Rejecting, then, as nugatory every attempt to assign Robin Hood a definite position in history, what view shall we adopt?
39627Said Robin Hood,"Lady fair, whither away?
39627Shall I be thy true love?"
39627Tell me as I do stand; What hast thou to do with my bag and bottle?
39627The ussher sayed,"Yemen, what wold ye haue?
39627Then out bespake the King again,-- 185"My boy, now tell to me, Who dwells into yon bigly bour, Beneath yon green aik tree?"
39627Then some would leape, and some would runne, 5 And some would use artillery;"Which of you can a good bow draw, A good archer for to be?
39627There sate a yeoman by his side,"Tell mee, sweet page,"said hee, 30"What is thy businesse and thy cause, So far in the north countrey?"

41298''Ah, sweet Sir Charles, why wilt thou go Without thy loving wife?
41298''And art thou dead, thou gentle youth And art thou dead and gone; And didst thou die for love of me?
41298''And art thou dead, thou much lov''d youth, And didst thou die for me?
41298''And by the brook, and in the glade, Are all our wanderings o''er?
41298''And has he left his birds and flowers, And must I call in vain?
41298''And how should I know your true- love From many another one?''
41298''And shall I now, for fear of death, Look wan and be dismayed?
41298''And what penance will ye drie for that?
41298''And what will you do with your towers and your hall?
41298''And what will you leave to your bairns and your wife?
41298''And what will you leave to your own mother dear?
41298''And where are they?
41298''And will he never come again?
41298''And wilt thou forsake thy pinder his craft, And live in the green wood with me?''
41298''Are ye out of your mind, my nurse, my nurse?''
41298''Before I saw the lightsome sun, This was appointed me; Shall mortal man repine or grudge What God ordains to be?
41298''But what good came of it at last?''
41298''But why do I talk of Death?
41298''By thy long grey beard and glittering eye, Now wherefore stopp''st thou me?
41298''Canst hear,''said one,''the breakers roar?
41298''Cause her fortune seems too high, Shall I play the fool and die?
41298''From better habitations spurned, Reluctant dost thou rove?
41298''Hast thou either meat or drink,''said Robin Hood,''For my merry men and me?''
41298''His horsemen hard behind us ride; Should they our steps discover, Then who will cheer my bonny bride When they have slain her lover?''
41298''How can I speak, how dare I speak, How can I speak to thee?
41298''How did I know that every dart That cut the airy way, Might not find passage to my heart, And close mine eyes for aye?
41298''How many are you, then,''said I,''If they two are in heaven?''
41298''How many?
41298''How oft in battle have I stood, When thousands died around; When smoking streams of crimson blood Imbrued the fattened ground?
41298''I have a spouse, go ask of her If I defiled her bed?
41298''In Lent, and on the holy eve, From flesh I did refrain; Why should I then appear dismayed To leave this world of pain?
41298''Lady, dost thou not fear to stray, So lone and lovely, through this bleak way?
41298''Last night the gifted Seer did view A wet shroud swathed round ladye gay; Then stay thee, Fair, in Ravensheuch; Why cross the gloomy firth to- day?
41298''My gentle lad, what is''t you read-- Romance or fairy fable?
41298''Nay now, what faith?''
41298''Nay, but credit I''ve none, And my money''s all gone; Then say how may that come to pass?
41298''Now art thou a bachelor, stranger?''
41298''Now, who be ye would cross Lochgyle, This dark and stormy water?''
41298''O wha is this has done this deed, And tauld the king o''me, To send us out at this time o''the year, To sail upon the sea?''
41298''O wilt thou forsake the pinder his craft And go to the green wood with me?
41298''Or has thy good woman, if one thou hast, Ever here in Cornwall been?
41298''Our joys as wingèd dreams do fly, Why then should sorrow last?
41298''Say why, my friend, thy honest soul Runs over at thine eye; Is it for my most welcome doom That thou dost child- like cry?''
41298''Say, were ye tired of godly peace, And godly Henry''s reign, That you did chop your easy days For those of blood and pain?
41298''Show me,''said he,''whose men you be, That hunt so boldly here?
41298''Sisters and brothers, little maid, How many may you be?''
41298''Speak boldly, man,''said brave Sir Charles,''What says the traitor- king?''
41298''Sweet Florence, why these briny tears?
41298''Tell me, thou bonny bird, When shall I marry me?''
41298''Thus let me hold thee to my heart, And every care resign; And shall we never, never part, My life-- my all that''s mine?
41298''We all must die,''said brave Sir Charles;''Of that I''m not afraid; What boots to live a little space?
41298''We all must die,''said brave Sir Charles;''What boots it how or when?
41298''Who makes the bridal bed, Birdie, say truly?''
41298''Why lingereth she to clothe her heart with love, Delaying as the tender ash delays To clothe herself, when all the woods are green?
41298''Will you come home, my dear?''
41298''You drank of the Well I warrant betimes?''
41298''You say that two at Conway dwell, And two are gone to sea, Yet ye are seven!--I pray you tell, Sweet maid, how this may be?''
41298Ae stride or twa took the silly auld carle, An''a gude lang stride took he:''I trow thou to be a feck auld carle, Will ye shaw the way to me?''
41298And are those follies going?
41298And are ye sure he''s weel?
41298And is my proud heart growing Too cold or wise For brilliant eyes Again to set it glowing?
41298And is that Woman all her crew?
41298And warn from fight?
41298And was she nae very weel off, That was woo''d, and married, and a''?
41298And what do you carry there?''
41298And what penance will ye drie for that?
41298And what shoulder, and what art Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
41298And what will you do with your towers and your hall?
41298And what will you leave to your bairns and your wife?
41298And what will you leave to your own mother dear?
41298And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand form''d thy dread feet?
41298And where is the bosom friend, dearer than all?
41298And why daur ye nae mair weel be seen Pu''ing the birks on the Braes of Yarrow?
41298And why does thy nose look so blue?
41298And why so sad go ye, O?''
41298And why yon melancholious weids Hung on the bonny birks of Yarrow?
41298And will I hear him speak?
41298And will I see his face again?
41298And will he not come again?
41298And will he not come again?
41298And, through the long, long summer hours, Will he not come again?
41298And, to make sport, I puff and snort: And out the candles I do blow: The maids I kiss, They shriek-- Who''s this?
41298Are Erin''s sons so good or so cold, As not to be tempted by woman or gold?''
41298Are those her ribs through which the Sun Did peer, as through a grate?
41298Are those her sails that glance in the Sun, Like restless gossameres?
41298Art thou rich, yet is thy mind perplex''d?
41298Ask me no more: what answer should I give?
41298Away went Gilpin-- who but he?
41298Be she fairer than the day, Or the flow''ry meads in May, If she be not so to me, What care I how fair she be?

41298Be she with that goodness blest Which may gain her name of best, If she be not such to me, What care I how good she be?
41298Bright jewels of the mine?
41298But many a trusty friend have I, And why should I feel dole or care?
41298But shall I go mourn for that, my dear?
41298But who the expected husband husband is?

22223Then since all nature joins In this love without alloy, O''wha wad prove a traitor To nature''s dearest joy?
22223Then wherefore, in these merry days, Should we, I pray, be duller?
22223There came a burst of thunder sound-- The boy-- oh, where was he?
22223There were men with hoary hair Amidst that pilgrim band: Why had they come to wither there, Away from their childhood''s land?
22223They name thee before me, A knell to mine ear; A shudder comes o''er me Why wert thou so dear?
22223They''re bonnie fish and halesome farin''; Wha''ll buy my caller herrin'', New drawn frae the Forth?
22223They''re bonnie fish and halesome farin''Wha''ll buy my caller herrin'', New drawn frae the Forth?
22223Thou smilest, but thou dost not speak, And then the tears run down my cheek, Oriana: What wantest thou?
22223Though other''s purses be more fat, Why should we pine or grieve at that?
22223Thus let me hold thee to my heart, And every care resign; And shall we never, never part, My life-- my all that''s mine?
22223WE ARE SEVEN A SIMPLE child That lightly draws its breath, And feels its life in every limb, What should it know of death?
22223WHY SO PALE AND WAN?
22223WHY so pale and wan, fond lover?
22223We all must die,''said brave Sir Charles;''What boots it how or when?
22223Wha can fill a coward''s grave?

22223When he came to the merry mill pin, Lady Mouse beene you within?
22223When true hearts lie withered And fond ones are flown, Oh, who would inhabit This bleak world alone?
22223When will the dancers leave her alone?
22223When ye were sleepin''on your pillows, Dreamed ye aught o''our puir fellows, Darkling as they faced the billows, A''to fill the woven willows?
22223Where English cloth- yard arrows Killed the French like tame sparrows, Slain by our Bowmen?
22223Where are those lights so many and fair, That signal made but now?"
22223Where gat ye that bonny bonny bride?
22223Where gat ye that winsome marrow?
22223Where is my cabin- door, fast by the wild wood?
22223Where is the mother that looked on my childhood?
22223Who shall say that fortune grieves him, While the star of hope she leaves him?
22223Who shall this marriage make?
22223Why come you drest like a village maid, That are the flower of the earth?''
22223Why does she weep, thy bonny bonny bride?
22223Why does she weep, thy winsome marrow?
22223Why does your brand so drop with blood?
22223Why on thy braes heard the voice of sorrow?
22223Why rins thy stream, O Yarrow, Yarrow, reid?
22223Why should we yet our sail unfurl?
22223Why should ye ought?
22223Why so dull and mute, young sinner?
22223Wild is thy lay and loud, Far in the downy cloud, Love gives it energy, love gave it birth, Where, on thy dewy wing, Where art thou journeying?
22223Will he ne''er come again?
22223Will, when looking well ca n''t move her, Looking ill prevail?
22223Will, when speaking well ca n''t win her, Saying nothing do''t?
22223Wilt thou be my dearie O?
22223Wilt thou be my dearie O?

35402For who shall change with prayers or thanksgivings The mystery of the cruelty of things?
35402From their lips have thy lips taken fever, With the blood of their bodies grown red?
35402Had it been so hard for my love?
35402Has any heat too hard and insolent Burnt bare the tender married leaves, undone The maiden grass shut under from the sun?
35402Hast thou forgotten ere I forget?
35402Hast thou left upon earth a believer If these men are dead?
35402Hast thou not given me above all that live Joy, and a little sorrow shalt not give?
35402Hast thou the heart?
35402Hast thou told all thy secrets the last time, And bared all thy beauties to one?
35402Hath he not sent us hunger?
35402Have the high gods anything left to give, Save dust and laurels and gold and sand?
35402Have they boiled my maid in a brass pan, And built a gallows to hang my man?"
35402Have they hewn my son for beasts to eat, And my wife''s body for beasts''meat?
35402Have we not lips to love with, eyes for tears, And summer and flower of women and of years?
35402He hath bound them: shall he break the tether?
35402He hath rent them: shall he bind together?
35402He hath slain them: shall he bid them live?
35402How could the roseleaf love the rue, The day love nightfall and her dew, Though night may love the day?
35402How should he greet thee?
35402I have passed from the outermost portal To the shrine where a sin is a prayer; What care though the service be mortal?
35402I never shall tell you on earth; and in heaven, If I cry to you then, will you hear or know?
35402I said,"Bethink yourself how love Fared in us twain, what either did; Shall I unclothe my soul thereof?
35402I would I had been the first that took her death Out from between wet hoofs and reddened teeth, Splashed horns, fierce fetlocks of the brother bull?
35402I would the sea had hidden us, the fire( Wilt thou fear that, and fear not my desire?)
35402III Love, is it love or sleep or shadow or light That lies between thine eyelids and thine eyes?
35402ITYLUS Swallow, my sister, O sister swallow, How can thine heart be full of the spring?
35402Is it not past?
35402Is it worth a tear, is it worth an hour, To think of things that are well outworn?
35402Is joy thy dower or grief, White rose of weary leaf, Late rose whose life is brief, whose loves are light?
35402Is not his incense bitterness, his meat Murder?
35402Is the breath of them hot in thy hair?
35402Is there place in the land of your labour, Is there room in your world of delight, Where change has not sorrow for neighbour And day has not night?
35402KING DAVID Lord God, alas, what shall I sain?
35402KING DAVID Yea, my good knave, and is it said That I can raise men from the dead?
35402LAUS VENERIS Asleep or waking is it?
35402LOVE AT SEA We are in love''s land to- day; Where shall we go?
35402Laugh or groan, Doth heaven remurmur and repeat Sad sounds or sweet?
35402Lay not thine hand upon me; let me go; Take off thine eyes that put the gods to shame; What, wilt thou turn my loathing to thy death?
35402Let us go seaward as the great winds go, Full of blown sand and foam; what help is here?
35402Lo, do I crave so much?
35402Lo, for no noise or light of thunder Shall these grave- clothes be rent in sunder; He that hath taken, shall he give?
35402Lo, what hath he seen or known, Of the way and the wave Unbeholden, unsailed on, unsown, From the breast to the grave?
35402Lo, what thing have ye found endure?
35402Love, shall we start or stay, Or sail or row?
35402Man, what have I to do with shame or thee?
35402More than these wilt thou give, things fairer than all these things?
35402Nay, fair Lord Christ, lift up thine eyes and see; Had now thy mother such a lip-- like this?
35402Nay, if death be not, how shall they be?
35402Nay, is there help in heaven?
35402Nay, sweet, for is she God alone?
35402Nay, though I might, Would I change my sweet one love with a word?
35402Nay, what have I said?
35402Nay, where the heart of wrath is broken, Where long love ends as a thing spoken, How shall thy crying enter there?
35402O fools and blind, what seek ye there, High up in the air?
35402O love, O lover, loose or hold me fast, I had thee first, whoever have thee last; Fairer or not, what need I know, what care?
35402O my fair lord, I charge you leave me this: Is it not sweeter than a foolish kiss?
35402O nursed in airs apart, O poet highest of heart, Hast thou seen time, who hast seen so many things?
35402O our Lady of Torture, what care?
35402O queen, take heed of words; Why wilt thou eat the husk of evil speech?
35402O swallow, sister, O fair swift swallow, Why wilt thou fly after spring to the south, The soft south whither thine heart is set?
35402O where have ye been the morn sae late?
35402Of fruitless husk and fugitive flower, The dream foregone and the deed forborne?
35402On fields of strange men''s feet, Or fields near home?
35402Or did God mean To scourge with scorpions for a rod Our sins, Faustine?
35402Or what thing have ye found on high Past the blind sky?
35402Or what, Faustine?
35402Or where have ye made your bearing- bed, To bear a son in the sides of Tyne?"
35402Or where the fire- flowers blow, Or where the flowers of snow Or flowers of foam?
35402RONDEL These many years since we began to be, What have the gods done with us?
35402Rest, and be glad of the gods; but I, How shall I praise them, or how take rest?
35402SEVENTH ANTIPHONE Wilt thou bring fine gold for a payment For sins on this wise?
35402Shall God make a pact with thee, till his hook be found in thy sides?
35402Shall not the grief of the old time follow?
35402Shall not the song thereof cleave to thy mouth?
35402Shall one shed tears or fall to laughter, At sight of all these poor old dead?
35402Shall one so chafe that hath such little bones?
35402Shall such an one lend love or borrow?
35402Shall these be sorry for thy sorrow?
35402Shall these give thanks for words or breath?
35402Shall this be a small thing in thine eyes, That is greater in mine than the whole great sea?''
35402Shall this dust gather flesh hereafter?
35402Shall we not laugh, shall we not weep, Not we, though this be as it is?
35402Shame may do most where fear is found most weak; That which for shame''s sake yet I have not done, Shall it be done for fear''s?
35402She is right fair; what hath she done to thee?
35402Sin, is it sin whereby men''s souls are thrust Into the pit?
35402Sister, my sister, O soft light swallow, Though all things feast in the spring''s guest- chamber, How hast thou heart to be glad thereof yet?
35402Sleep were no sweeter than her face to me, Sleep of cold sea- bloom under the cold sea; What pain could get between my face and hers?
35402Sleep, is it sleep perchance that covers Each face, as each face were his lover''s?
35402Sleep, shall we sleep after all?
35402Sleep; what hast thou to do with her?
35402Sweet, does death hurt?
35402THE BLOODY SON( FINNISH)"O where have ye been the morn sae late, My merry son, come tell me hither?
35402The dead man answered thus:"What good gift shall God give us?"
35402The dead man asked of them:"Is the green land stained brown with flame?
35402The eyes that weep, with the mouth that sings?"
35402The first board spake and said:"Is it best eating flesh or bread?"
35402The gulf is strait, but deep enough; Who shall recross, who among men Shall cross again?
35402The hands that cling and the feet that follow, The voice of the child''s blood crying yet_ Who hath remembered me?
35402The hopes that hurt and the dreams that hover, Shall they not vanish away and apart?
35402The second answered it:"Is wine or honey the more sweet?"
35402The son of grief begot by joy?
35402The third board spake and said:"Is red gold worth a girl''s gold head?"
35402The woven web that was plain to follow, The small slain body, the flowerlike face, Can I remember if thou forget?
35402There is a god about me like as fire, Sprung whence, who knoweth, or who hath heart to say?
35402There''s many a wind and way, And never a May but May; We are in love''s hand to- day; Where shall we go?
35402They shall pass, and shalt thou not be shaken?
35402They shall perish, and shalt thou endure?
35402Thou knowest what hath been, knowest thou what shall be?
35402Thou, first of men and friend, Seest thou, even thou, the end?
35402Thy lord the summer is good to follow, And fair the feet of thy lover the spring: But what wilt thou say to the spring thy lover?
35402Thy sweet low bosom, thy close hair, Thy strait soft flanks and slenderer feet, Thy virginal strange air, Are these not over fair For Love to greet?
35402Time found our tired love sleeping, And kissed away his breath; But what should we do weeping, Though light love sleep to death?
35402Times unforgotten, and treasures of things?
35402To what strange end hath some strange god made fair The double blossom of two fruitless flowers?
35402Unless, perhaps, white death had kissed me there, Kissing her hair?
35402Was it myrtle or poppy thy garland was woven with, O my Dolores?
35402Was it pallor of slumber, or blush as of blood, that I found in thee fair?
35402Was life worth living then?
35402Was mine not too?
35402We are in love''s land to- day-- Where shall we land you, sweet?
35402We twain once well in sunder, What will the mad gods do For hate with me, I wonder, Or what for love with you?
35402Wert thou pure and a maiden, Dolores, When desire took thee first by the throat?
35402What adders came to shed their coats?
35402What ailed us, O gods, to desert you For creeds that refuse and restrain?
35402What aileth thee, wilt thou do services?
35402What ails us to fear overmeasure, To praise thee with timorous breath, O mistress and mother of pleasure, The one thing as certain as death?
35402What am I, that my lips do thee wrong?
35402What broke off the garlands that girt you?
35402What bud was the shell of a blossom That all men may smell to and pluck?
35402What coiled obscene Small serpents with soft stretching throats Caressed Faustine?
35402What colour burning man''s wide- open eye But may be pleasurably seen?
35402What flower of kisses without fruit Of love, Faustine?
35402What hast thou found in the spring to follow?
35402What hast thou found in thine heart to sing?
35402What hope, what light, Falls from the farthest starriest way On you that pray?
35402What is time, that his children should face thee?
35402What milk fed thee first at what bosom?
35402What new sweet thing would love not relish worse?
35402What new work wilt thou find for thy lover, What new passions for daytime or night?
35402What pain, established in so sweet a place, But the plucked leaf of it smells fragrantly?
35402What shall I say?
35402What shall be said?
35402What sins gave thee suck?
35402What spells that they know not a word of Whose lives are as leaves overblown?
35402What sterile growths of sexless root Or epicene?
35402What sundered you spirit and clay?
35402What tortures undreamt of, unheard of, Unwritten, unknown?
35402What was the song I made of you Here where the grass forgets our feet As afternoon forgets the dew?
35402What wilt thou do when the summer is shed?
35402What wilt thou do?
35402When have they heard us?
35402When shall feathers be as lead?
35402When shall stanes in the sea swim?
35402When shall the sunrise on the north side be?
35402Where are the imperial years?
35402Where are they, Cotytto or Venus, Astarte or Ashtaroth, where?
35402Where in this world is room enough for pain?"
35402Where, when the gods would be cruel, Do they go for a torture?
35402Who are we that embalm and embrace thee With spices and savours of song?
35402Who gave thee thy wisdom?
35402Who has known all the evil before us, Or the tyrannous secrets of time?
35402Who hath known the ways and the wrath, The sleepless spirit, the root And blossom of evil will, The divine device of a god?
35402Who hath known, who knoweth, O gods?
35402Who knows what word were best to say?
35402Who shall behold it or hath?
35402Who shall give sorrow enough, Or who the abundance of tears?
35402Who shall kiss, in thy father''s own city, With such lips as he sang with, again?
35402Who shall turn on fate?
35402Why am I fair at all before thee, why At all desired?
35402Why hath he made us?
35402Why is your coat sae fouled the day?
35402Why will ye weep?
35402Why wilt thou follow lesser loves?
35402Will not God do right?
35402Will they solace you wholly, the days that were?
35402Will they tie the winds in a tether, Put a bit in the jaws of the sea?
35402Will ye beat always at the gate, Ye fools of fate?
35402Will ye bridle the deep sea with reins, will ye chasten the high sea with rods?
35402Will ye take her to chain her with chains, who is older than all ye Gods?
35402Will you forget as I forgot?
35402Will you lift up your eyes between sadness and bliss, Meet mine, and see where the great love is, And tremble and turn and be changed?
35402Wilt thou judge thy people now, O king that wast found most wise?
35402Wilt thou lie any more, O thou whose mouth is emptied of lies?
35402Wilt thou put back the time of the sea, or the place of the season of tides?
35402Wilt thou smile as a woman disdaining The light fire in the veins of a boy?
35402Wilt thou yet take all, Galilean?
35402With her, my love, with her have they done well?
35402With the sweet of the sins of old ages Wilt thou satiate thy soul as of yore?
35402Would I have you change now, change at a blow, Startled and stricken, awake and aware?
35402Would I lose you now?
35402Would I not hurt thee perfectly?
35402Would I not plague thee dying overmuch?
35402Ye are fallen, our lords, by what token?
35402Ye fools; for which among you deems His prayer can alter green to red Or stones to bread?
35402Yea, is not even Apollo, with hair and harpstring of gold, A bitter God to follow, a beautiful God to behold?
35402Yea, what if dried- up stems wax red and green, Shall that thing be which is not nor has been?
35402Yea, what if sapless bark wax green and white, Shall any good fruit grow upon my sin?
35402Yea, with thy sweet lips, with thy sweet sword; yea, Take life and all, for I will die, I say; Love, I gave love, is life a better boon?
35402Your soul forgot her joys, forgot Her times of teen; Yea, this life likewise will you not Forget, Faustine?

35402what new name, Fit to move all men''s hearts, could move Thee, deaf to love or shame, Love''s sister, by the same Mother as Love?
35402what sense Keeps in its hot sharp extreme violence No savour of sweet things?
35402what shall be said of thee?
35402what stories That stung thee, what visions that smote?
35402what with me, What with my love?
35402when have I done you wrong, Living?
35402where Plant thorns, set pain like a jewel?
35402who had guessed You loved me best?
35402who hath cursed Spirit and flesh with longing?
35402who hath forgotten?_ Thou hast forgotten, O summer swallow, But the world shall end when I forget.
35402who hath known Their faces, climbed unto their feet, Felt them and found them?
35402who shall see her dead?
35402who shall tell Sweet things or sad, such things as no man hears?
35402wilt thou be worse than death?
35402would I take you then, If I lose you now that my heart has need?
